Removes the requirement that a parent-teacher of a homeschooled student provide proof of the student’s immunizations and receipt of health services or examinations required by law generally for children in this state to the local education agency.
This bill will also exempt homeschool students from the immunization requirements applicable to students attending a school, nursery school, kindergarten, preschool, or childcare facility.
Essentially, this bill will protect a parent’s right to protect the privacy of their home-schooled child and make their own healthcare choices for their children.
