Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont also filed legislation to further the discussion on who is required to receive vaccinations.
“Sen. Radogno’s goals are similar to Mulroe’s,” said Radogno spokeswoman Patty Schuh according to an article in the Daily Herald. “We need to tighten the rules and laws that govern the vaccination process.”
SB1776 Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the School Code. Provides that parents or legal guardians who object to required health, dental, or eye examinations or to immunizations on grounds that the examinations or immunizations conflict with their religious tenets or practices (instead of who object on religious grounds) shall not be required to submit their children or wards to the examinations or immunizations to which they object.
