Parental rights regarding vaccination.
HB 57 repeals a Wyoming law (W.S. 35-4-113(b)(i)) that previously allowed healthcare providers to vaccinate minor children without parental consent. This change would require parental consent for all minor children's vaccinations and medical treatments, directly affecting parents, minors, and healthcare providers across Wyoming. The bill does not create new vaccine requirements but restores parental decision-making authority in this specific medical context. It would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as specified in Section 2 of the bill. The bill has not yet advanced beyond the introduction stage in the current legislative session.
