Senate Bill 447 aims to amend the existing immunization requirements for students enrolling in schools, child care centers, and nursery schools in Wisconsin. Currently, students must provide evidence of their immunization status within 30 days of admission, but they can waive this requirement by submitting a written objection for health, religious, or personal reasons. The bill reinforces the obligation of schools to inform parents or guardians of their right to request a waiver at the time they are notified of the immunization requirements.

The proposed legislation introduces a new requirement that schools, child care centers, and nursery schools must provide a specific procedure for submitting the waiver alongside any health-related forms that are required for enrollment or admission. This change is intended to streamline the process for parents and guardians, ensuring they have clear guidance on how to present their waiver requests when completing necessary documentation for their child's enrollment.
