SB0797

Michigan SB0797 prohibits the Department of Health from creating rules stricter than those for claiming immunization exemptions.

Michigan SB0797 amends the state's immunization requirements by prohibiting the Department of Health from creating rules that are more stringent than the existing exemptions for immunizations. The bill specifies that the department cannot enforce rules that impose different or additional requirements for exemption than those already described in the law. Exemptions can be based on a physician's certification that an immunization may be detrimental to a child's health or on a written statement from a parent or guardian citing religious convictions or other objections.
