This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 23-12 of the North Dakota Century Code that establishes an exemption for required vaccines. The bill defines "department" as the department of health and human services and mandates that the department publicize the existence of this exemption. Individuals required to receive vaccines for employment, school attendance, or licensing may claim an exemption if there is no FDA-approved vaccine that meets specific criteria, including safety evaluations, public disclosure of vaccine-related injuries, and proof that the vaccine's risks are lower than those of the disease it prevents.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the department must inform the public about the exemption process, allowing individuals to claim it for themselves or on behalf of dependents. It also prohibits state agencies, political subdivisions, boards, or commissions from imposing any conditions that contradict this exemption. The bill aims to ensure that individuals are aware of their rights regarding vaccine requirements and the criteria under which they can opt out.
