MI SB0300

Rescind R 325.175 of the Michigan Administrative Code, which allows local health officers to exclude individuals from school attendance based on lack immunity documentation when communicable disease is suspected outside of epidemic situations.

Prohibit the Department of Health and Human Services from promulgating rules that impose additional or different requirements for immunization exemptions beyond those specified in statute (medical exemptions and religious/personal objection exemptions).

Require that when the department provides public information about immunization exemptions, it must also include information about the effectiveness and potential risks of immunizations for diseases required under department rules.

Prohibit the department from requiring exemptions to be submitted on department-prescribed forms, allowing written statements to school administrators or group program operators instead.

Make the act effective 90 days after enactment, contingent upon Senate Bill No. 299 of the 99th Legislature being enacted into law.
