The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 629, aims to reinstate the religious exemption from school vaccination requirements in Connecticut. The bill seeks to amend the general statutes to include provisions that allow parents or guardians to opt-out of vaccination mandates for their children based on religious beliefs.

This legislation is introduced by Senator Berthel and has been referred to the Public Health Committee. The primary purpose of the bill is to restore the ability for families to decline vaccinations for their children in school settings due to religious convictions, which may have been previously restricted or eliminated in current law.
