Bill Summary

For legislation relative to childhood immunizations. Education.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 15 of Chapter 76 of the General Laws, which likely pertains to educational requirements and exemptions, by adding the phrase "or personal" after "religious" in a specific line. This change would expand the existing exemptions for childhood immunizations, which currently allow for religious objections, to also include personal objections, meaning parents could potentially opt out of vaccinating their children for personal reasons in addition to religious ones.
