Relating to: eliminating personal conviction exemption from immunizations.
SB 950 eliminates the option for parents or guardians to exempt children from school or childcare immunization requirements based on "personal conviction." It directly affects students, parents, and schools by restricting waivers to only health or religious reasons. The bill amends statutes to remove "personal conviction" from acceptable exemption grounds, requiring schools to inform families about the limited waiver options. This changes current practice by ending non-medical, non-religious exemptions for immunizations in educational settings. The bill is currently pending in the Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform, State and Federal Affairs.
