Bill > HB4553

This bill amends the Michigan Revised School Code to update provisions related to school immunization requirements and reporting. The bill primarily makes technical changes to language, replacing references to the "department of community health" with "department of health and human services" throughout the text. It maintains existing requirements for students enrolling in school for the first time or entering 7th grade, which include submitting documentation of immunizations, religious exemptions, or physician statements about immunization compliance. The bill also preserves the existing mandate for schools to report immunization status for new students to the state health department by November 1st and February 1st each year. A key addition is an explicit reference to section 9215 of the public health code regarding immunization exemptions. The bill will take effect 90 days after enactment and is tied to the passage of a companion bill (House Bill 4552). The changes appear to be primarily administrative, updating departmental names and clarifying existing immunization reporting and exemption processes for schools.
