HOUSE BILL 597
Law
Immunizations, exemptions
IMMUNIZATIONS – Amends existing law to allow students of majority age to submit a signed statement for exemption from immunizations requirements.
RS31088 / H0597
This legislation is intended to address two issues. The first is the 12th grade immunization requirement for which there is no exemption when a student is age 18 during their 12th grade school year. The requirement can be found in IDAPA 16.02.15.100.06.c. The second is to prevent colleges and universities in the state of Idaho from infringing on the privacy rights of students by requiring vaccination status or the disclosure of confidential medical information as conditions of enrollment or attendance. The exemptions currently described in §39-4802, §39-1118, and IDAPA 16.02.15.110 apply only to minor children and require parent or legal guardian signature.
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund or local governments.
