Relating to: eliminating personal conviction exemption from immunizations.
AB 891 eliminates the "personal conviction" exemption from school immunization requirements in Wisconsin. It directly affects students attending public or private schools, child care centers, and nurseries, as well as their parents or guardians. The bill amends statutes (49.155 and 252.04) to restrict immunization waivers solely to health or religious reasons, removing the option for parents to cite personal beliefs as a justification. Schools must now inform families of this limited waiver process when notifying them about immunization requirements. This is a concrete policy change to narrow exemptions, not a procedural or commemorative measure.
