Amends secs. 9215 & 9227 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.9215 & 333.9227) & adds sec. 5115a. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4553'25

HB 4552 prevents Michigan health authorities from creating stricter rules that would exclude unvaccinated students from school outside of epidemics. It specifically blocks the Department of Health and Human Services from promulgating rules allowing school exclusion based on lack of vaccination documentation, except during disease outbreaks. The bill preserves existing exemption processes for medical or religious reasons, prohibiting new requirements or forms for these exemptions. This directly affects schools, health departments, and families seeking vaccine exemptions under current law.
