The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding school immunization requirements in Arizona. Specifically, it would require that any communication sent to parents, guardians, or individuals in loco parentis about school immunization requirements must include information about the exemptions available under section 15-873. This addition aims to ensure that families are fully informed about their options regarding immunizations. Additionally, the bill makes minor technical changes to the language, such as replacing "make full disclosure of" with "fully disclose."

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that a pupil may be admitted to school if they have received at least one dose of the required immunizations and have established a schedule for completing the remaining immunizations. The parent or guardian must provide documentary proof of the immunizations received and the schedule for any additional required immunizations. The provisions regarding homeless pupils would remain unchanged, allowing them to attend school without immediate proof of immunization for a limited time after enrollment.
