Summary of H.F. 3239 / S.F. 3439
Under current law, students must provide proof of vaccination to enroll in any school, including a homeschool. As an alternative, parents may submit a medical or conscientious exemption. Homeschooling families provide this information when they begin homeschooling and again in 7th grade.
These companion bills would remove a parent’s ability to submit a conscientious objection for the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
As a result, students without a medical exemption would be required to receive the MMR vaccine to enroll in school, including homeschooling. Families who do not comply could face truancy concerns.
