The amendments will consolidate personal belief and religious exemptions into a single nonmedical exemption category, change the process to claim a nonmedical exemption, require the use of the Department’s certificates of medical and nonmedical exemption, update the requirements of the online education module with sections as outlined in SB20-163, and require schools to share the Department’s parent letter annually and compare their schools’ measles, mumps and rubella rate from the previous school year to a new Vaccinated Children Standard of 95%. |
