This bill amends the existing childhood immunization requirements by adding a new provision that stipulates that no vaccine can be mandated unless it has been demonstrated in clinical trials to prevent the transmission of any disease. The new legal language is inserted into RSA 141-C:20-a as a new paragraph IV, which explicitly states that nothing in the section shall require such a vaccine that does not meet this criterion.

The bill does not delete any existing legal language but rather adds to the current law to clarify the conditions under which vaccines can be required for childhood immunization. Additionally, the act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, ensuring that the new requirements will be implemented in a timely manner.
