This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to immunization requirements for children attending licensed daycare facilities and schools. It revises the immunization record requirements for daycare facilities, specifying that parents or guardians must provide documentation of their child's immunizations within fourteen days of attendance. The bill also outlines the specific vaccines required for children, including DTaP, polio, MMR, and others, while allowing exemptions for medical or religious reasons. Additionally, it mandates that daycare facilities retain immunization records for each child for the duration of their attendance plus one year.

Furthermore, the bill repeals certain sections of the Idaho Code that previously provided exemptions and establishes that specific administrative rules regarding immunization requirements will be null and void after July 1, 2025. It also includes provisions for school authorities to report immunization statuses and outlines the rights of parents regarding their children's immunization records. The bill emphasizes that immunizations are not mandatory and can be refused on religious or other grounds, while also allowing for the exclusion of unvaccinated children during disease outbreaks. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective immediately upon the specified date.
