HB 6206 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Education: other; exemptions to immunization requirements; modify to require the use of forms created by the department of health and human services. Amends sec. 1177 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1177).

This bill modifies Michigan's school immunization rules to require that parents use specific forms created by the Department of Health and Human Services when requesting medical or nonmedical exemptions. It directly affects parents enrolling children in public or nonpublic schools for the first time or enrolling them in seventh grade for the first time starting in the 2014-2015 school year. The legislation mandates that these exemption requests be submitted on standardized forms rather than allowing alternative documentation, while also maintaining existing requirements for physician statements and religious waivers. Additionally, the bill requires school administrators to report immunization and vision screening data to the state health department using the approved forms by set deadlines each year.
