Bill on immunization opt-outs heads to House

A bill that could require schools to notify parents about vaccination exemption law is on its way to the House.

Under House Bill 438, schools would be required to let parents know they can opt their children out of vaccinations — if they provide information about a section of state law on the immunization guidelines.

“They’re providing half the story,” said the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Dori Healey, R-Boise, a registered nurse.
