AN ACT REQUIRING A STUDY OF THE MEDICAL WAIVER PROCESS FOR VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS.

HB 6587 (2025) requires the Commissioner of Public Health to study how medical waivers for school vaccination requirements are currently used. The study will examine the process and report findings to the Public Health committee of the General Assembly. This bill does not change existing vaccination rules or waiver policies - it only mandates an analysis of the current medical waiver system for school requirements. It directly affects school vaccination policies by initiating a review of how waivers are granted and utilized. The bill focuses solely on gathering data, with no immediate policy changes proposed.
