MINOR
The bill was amended to change the grade level at which parents receive adolescent vaccination information from sixth grade to seventh grade. This shift moves the timing of the health information requirement to a later stage in a student's education.
Scope change
The bill now applies to students entering seventh grade instead of sixth grade, affecting which students and their parents receive the vaccination information.
ELIGIBILITY
Changed the grade level for receiving vaccination information from sixth grade to seventh grade, meaning parents of seventh grade entrants will now receive the information instead of sixth grade entrants.
