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 they can be mandated.

The bill does not delete any existing legal language but rather adds to the current framework governing childhood immunization. It is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, allowing for a transition period for the implementation of this new requirement.
