RELATING TO IMMUNIZATIONS.

Summary

The bill changes Hawaii law so that schools must allow a child to be exempt from the vaccine schedule when a parent or legal guardian objects in writing on the basis of genuine religious beliefs. It also bars any medical exam, vaccination, revaccination, or immunization from being forced on a child whose parent objects for those religious reasons. The change is meant to protect religious freedom while keeping existing medical exemptions.
