REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31088 / H0597
This legislation is intended to address two issues. The first is the 12th grade immunization requirement for
which there is no exemption when a student is age 18 during their 12th grade school year. The requirement
can be found in IDAPA 16.02.15.100.06.c. The second is to prevent colleges and universities in the state
of Idaho from infringing on the privacy rights of students by requiring vaccination status or the disclosure of
confidential medical information as conditions of enrollment or attendance. The exemptions currently described
in §39-4802, §39-1118, and IDAPA 16.02.15.110 apply only to minor children and require parent or legal
guardian signature.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact to the general fund or local governments since the signed statement is the responsibility
of the majority-aged student.
