A bill for an act relating to the provision of information relating to immunization exemptions.
This bill requires various educational institutions, child care providers, and the state's health department to include information about immunization exemptions when communicating about immunization requirements. This directly affects parents, legal guardians, and students who receive these communications.
Specifically, elementary and secondary schools, licensed child care centers, and all other child care facilities must include exemption details in communications to parents and on their websites or registration materials. Community colleges, state universities, and private higher education institutions are also required to adopt policies ensuring students receive exemption information when notified about immunization requirements. Additionally, the state's health department must include exemption information in any public communication following an immunization recommendation.
