The bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 23-12 of the North Dakota Century Code that establishes an opt-out procedure for required vaccines. It stipulates that no state agency, political subdivision, or government entity can mandate an individual to receive a vaccine or similar product aimed at disease prevention without providing an opt-out option for health, religious, or philosophical reasons.

Additionally, the bill specifies that for educational and childcare institutions, such as schools and day care centers, the existing regulations outlined in section 23-07-17.1 must be adhered to regarding vaccines and the associated opt-out procedures. This legislation aims to ensure that individuals have the right to refuse vaccinations under specified circumstances while maintaining compliance with existing laws for certain institutions.
