Relating to the affidavit form for claiming an exemption from required immunizations.

HB 730 standardizes the form parents or guardians use to claim vaccine exemptions for school-aged children in Texas. The bill requires the state health department to create a uniform affidavit form that includes a statement explaining the benefits and risks of both immunizations and remaining unvaccinated. It mandates the department to track how many times the form is accessed annually (without recording personal identities) and report this data to the legislature. This affects parents, guardians, or legal custodians seeking exemptions for children attending public or private schools, effective for the 2025-2026 school year.
