This bill amends various sections of the Minnesota Statutes related to immunization provisions, specifically focusing on the definitions and modifications to immunization schedules. It introduces a new definition for "medically acceptable standards," which refers to the immunization schedule determined by the commissioner of health based on evidence-based medical science and recommendations from recognized health organizations. The bill also modifies the process for adopting changes to immunization requirements, requiring the commissioner of health to consult with various stakeholders and consider specific criteria before making any modifications.

Additionally, the bill repeals a specific Minnesota Rule regarding the definition of "medically acceptable standards," which previously referenced immunization recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The changes aim to streamline the immunization process and ensure that it is based on the latest scientific evidence and expert recommendations. The effective date for these changes is set for the day following final enactment.
