Bill > S0741

This bill proposes to amend South Carolina state law by adding a new section (Section 44-37-55) to Chapter 37 of Title 44, which would prohibit mandatory vaccination for infants under 24 months of age. Specifically, the bill prevents any government or health authority from requiring vaccines for children in this age group, while still allowing parents to voluntarily choose to have their infants vaccinated if they wish. The proposed legislation would take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, meaning that as soon as the Governor signs the bill, it would become law. The bill's primary intent appears to be protecting parental choice in vaccination decisions for very young children by removing any potential mandatory vaccination requirements for infants under two years old.
