Requirements for exemption from immunizations for conscientiously held beliefs modified, commissioner of health required to develop an immunizations education module, and money appropriated.

HF 3775 modifies Minnesota's requirements for school immunization exemptions based on conscientious beliefs. It requires parents or guardians seeking such exemptions to first complete an educational consultation with a healthcare provider, who must verify they reviewed a new health department education module about immunization risks and benefits. The bill also mandates the commissioner of health to develop and provide this education module, and requires exemption statements to be notarized and submitted to the health department. These changes apply to students in schools and child care facilities, while allowing temporary exclusions during disease outbreaks if the health commissioner issues a determination. The bill does not alter medical exemption rules or the existing requirement for children to be immunized against certain diseases.
