                of nonvaccination with the child's pediatrician or 
                other primary care provider and that the discussion is 
                noted in the child's medical record.

                requirements for a child read and sign a form that 
                discusses the risks of nonvaccination and submits the 
                form to the State.

                exemptions from State immunization requirements shall 
                only be granted for a 1-year period and shall be 
                required to be renewed annually if a parent or guardian

These procedures must include at least two of the following prerequisites for granting a nonmedical exemption:  the child's parent or guardian shall discuss the consequences of nonvaccination with the child's primary care provider, as noted in the child's medical record;  the child's parent or guardian shall read, sign, and submit to the state a form discussing the risks of nonvaccination;  the child's parent of guardian shall submit to the state a notarized letter describing why the exemption is being sought; or  all medical exemptions shall be granted for only a one-year period and shall be required to be renewed annually only if the child's parent or guardian wants the exemption to continue for another year.  A state that does not comply with these requirements is subject to a monetary penalty.

Output: Small Business Health Plans Act of 2007 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to establish a small business health benefits program (SBHBP) under which small employers may offer health insurance coverage to employees and their dependents. Outlines program elements and coverage requirements, including that small employers are provided access to qualified health pooling arrangements under which their employees may elect coverage substantially similar to the federal employees benefit program (FEHB) coverage.

Requires the Secretary to: (1) establish a program of premium assistance for small employers under SBHBP that provides a sliding scale of assistance based on the number of employees, the average wage level of such employees, and the employer profit margin; (2) provide for reinsurance coverage for an individual's claims that exceed a specified amount for a year; and (3) provide grants to states for the establishment, initial administration, and operations of qualified health pooling arrangements.

Directs the Secretary and the Secretary of Labor to provide for a national health pooling arrangement for eligible small employers modeled after FEHB.
