The bill amends Section 16-30-4 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to allow dependents of active duty military personnel to use military medical records as proof of age-appropriate immunizations and testing when enrolling in public or private schools, instead of the traditional Blue Card. The new legal language specifies that these military medical records can be presented in lieu of the Blue Card, which is typically required for school admission to ensure compliance with immunization regulations.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the requirement for immunization certification applies only to students entering kindergarten through 12th grade, and it establishes that the act will take effect on July 1, 2025. The changes aim to facilitate the enrollment process for military families by recognizing their unique circumstances regarding medical documentation.
