This bill eliminates South Dakota's requirement that children be immunized before entering school or early childhood programs, though the Department of Health can still recommend immunizations. The bill removes previous exemptions for medical and religious reasons since immunizations are no longer mandatory, and it prevents schools from requiring any immunization or medical procedure as a condition of enrollment.
