Guarantees religious exemptions to vaccination requirements for educational institutions and agencies receiving federal funds.

The GRACE Act, or Guaranteeing Religious Accommodation in Childhood Education Act, prohibits the award of federal education funds to educational institutions and agencies that have a vaccination requirement unless they allow for religious exemptions. This means that individuals, or their parents or guardians in the case of a child, can be exempted from such requirements if they assert that receiving the vaccination would violate a sincerely held religious belief, without needing to submit any documentation or other information to support the validity of such assertion.
