Relating to an exemption from certain immunization requirements for medical and veterinary students.

HB 4927 exempts medical and veterinary students from certain immunization requirements as a condition for enrollment or course participation. It allows students to decline immunizations based on conscience (including religious belief) by submitting a signed affidavit to their school's admitting official, following the form requirements in existing law. This exemption applies specifically to students enrolled in medical schools (as defined by Texas law) or veterinary medicine programs at institutions of higher education. The policy would take effect for the 2025-2026 academic year, overriding current Education Code requirements that previously mandated such immunizations.
