What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires any institution of higher education that receives public

funding and that requires any student or prospective student to receive an

immunization as a condition of attendance to waive the immunization requirement

for a student or prospective student if the student or prospective student objects to

the immunization for reasons of health, religion, or personal conviction. Under the

bill, no institution of higher education may require that a student or prospective

student provide any explanation or justification of the student's or prospective

student's objection to an immunization. Further, the bill requires an institution of

higher education that receives public funding to inform a student or prospective

student of the student's or prospective student's right to a waiver from the institution

of higher education's immunization requirements in writing at any time the

institution of higher education informs the student or prospective student of the

immunization requirements.
