AN ACT AUTHORIZING A RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION TO SCHOOL VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS.

HB 6614 (proposed in 2025) would amend Connecticut's statute §10-204a to allow parents to claim a religious exemption from school vaccination requirements for their children. This would directly affect students enrolled in Connecticut schools and their families seeking exemptions based on religious beliefs. The bill would establish a formal process for parents to submit such exemptions to school officials, replacing current exemption options. Note: This bill is currently pending in the Public Health Committee and has not yet become law.
