SB1377 regulates medical exemptions for school immunizations in California.

SB1377 modifies California's Health and Safety Code to establish stricter guidelines for medical exemptions from school immunizations. The bill mandates that only a licensed physician or surgeon can issue a medical exemption, which must be based on accepted standards of care. It also requires the State Department of Public Health to develop a standardized medical exemption form, which must be used for all new exemptions starting January 1, 2021. The bill prohibits the revocation of medical exemptions without a court order and ensures that medical exemption information remains confidential.
