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.
