Relating to the prohibited maintenance of certain vaccine exemption records by the Department of State Health Services.

HB 1134 prohibits the Texas Department of State Health Services from maintaining records of individuals who request vaccine exemption affidavits or tracking exemption forms by zip code. The bill requires the department to continue reporting only the total number of exemption forms sent annually to the legislature. It directly affects the department’s data collection practices related to vaccine exemptions, not the exemption process itself. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
