AN ACT REINSTATING THE RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FROM SCHOOL VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS.
SB 629 would restore religious exemptions for school vaccination requirements, allowing parents to opt their children out of mandated vaccines based on religious beliefs. This bill directly affects parents and students in schools that require immunizations, reversing a previous policy that eliminated this exemption. The legislation amends general statutes to explicitly permit religious exemptions, without altering other vaccination rules or adding new requirements. (Procedural bill; summary limited to 2 sentences as requested.)
