TX HB772

Changes Texas immunization registry from an opt-in system requiring written consent to an opt-out system where individuals are automatically included unless they request exclusion

Provides multiple methods to request exclusion from the registry: at time of birth, when receiving immunizations, via electronic submission on the department's website, by written request, or after a disaster

Requires only one exclusion request to permanently remove an individual from the registry unless they later submit a written request for reinclusion

Prohibits the department from selling registry information to any public or private entity and bars use of registry data to deny services during disasters (except for medical contraindications)

Requires the Department of State Health Services to conduct a public awareness campaign about the changes and takes effect January 1, 2027, with the awareness campaign provision effective September 1, 2025
