Relating to the affidavit form provided by the Department of State Health Services for certain immunization exemptions.

SB 94 modifies Texas school immunization rules to help students with exemption requests. It requires schools and colleges to admit students who haven’t obtained required vaccines or submitted exemption affidavits if parents/guardians provide documentation showing they’ve requested the affidavit from the Department of State Health Services. The bill adds a new requirement for the health department to issue a standardized receipt confirming such requests, regardless of how they’re submitted (online, in person, or by mail). This applies to elementary/secondary schools, colleges, and childcare facilities under Texas law. The policy change directly affects students needing vaccine exemptions and their families seeking school enrollment.
