Relating to a prohibition on vaccination mandates.
HB 3304 prohibits school districts and private schools in Texas from requiring immunizations as a condition for student enrollment or attendance. The bill amends Education Code Section 38.001(b-1) to explicitly state that no school may mandate immunizations for admission to elementary or secondary schools. It removes language requiring schools to collect immunization records (previously Section 25.002(a)(3)) and changes the focus from "required" to "recommended" immunizations in school policies. This bill directly affects all Texas public and private schools, students, and families by eliminating vaccine mandates for school attendance.
