RELATING TO NON-MEDICAL EXEMPTIONS TO IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS.

SB 1437 repeals the option for parents or guardians to exempt school-aged children from required vaccinations based on non-medical reasons, such as religious beliefs or personal philosophy. This change directly affects families seeking to enroll children in public or private schools, as it would require all children to meet standard immunization requirements. The bill removes existing exemptions, meaning schools would no longer accept non-medical excuses for missing required vaccines. Currently pending in the 2025 session, the bill has not yet been enacted into law.
