This bill amends the current childhood immunization requirements by adding a new provision that stipulates that no vaccine can be mandated unless it has been tested with an inert placebo in clinical trials. The specific legal language inserted into the law is: "Nothing in this section shall require a vaccine that has not been tested with an inert placebo in a clinical trial." This addition aims to ensure that all vaccines required for childhood immunization meet a certain standard of testing before being mandated.

The bill also includes an effective date, stating that the new provisions will take effect 60 days after its passage. There are no deletions from the current law mentioned in the text provided. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the safety and efficacy standards for vaccines required for children by emphasizing the necessity of placebo-controlled trials.
