Will These Bills Stand Legal Challenges?
Legal experts have also weighed in on these proposed state bills that strip parental choice from making medical decisions for themselves or their children.

California attorney Victoria Ikerd-Schreiter weighs in on California SB 277 below.
Senate Bill 277 (Pan), seeks to eliminate Personal Beliefs exemptions for all California children from the Health and Safety Code by amending Section 120325, and to repealing and adding to Section 120365.
Existing law prohibits the governing authority of a school or other institution from unconditionally admitting any person as a pupil of any public or private elementary or secondary school, child care center, day nursery, nursery school, family day care home, or development center, unless prior to his or her admission to that institution he or she has been fully immunized against various diseases, including measles, mumps, and “Any other disease deemed appropriate by the department”, subject to any specific age criteria.
Existing law authorizes an exemption from those provisions for medical reasons or due to personal beliefs (which includes Religious), if specified forms are submitted to the governing authority pursuant to Section 120365 (as a result of AB 2109, Pan, from the 2013-2014 legislative session).
(c) Exemptions from immunization for medical reasons or because of personal beliefs.
(a) Immunization of a person shall not be required for admission to a school or other institution listed in Section 120335 if the parent or guardian or adult who has assumed responsibility for his or her care and custody in the case of a minor, or the person seeking admission if an emancipated minor, files with the governing authority a letter or affidavit that documents which immunizations required by Section 120355 have been given and which immunizations have not been given pursuant to an exemption from immunization for medical reasons.
Should a child not provide proof of full immunization to public school, private school (which includes, as stated above, homeschoolers), child care center, day nursery, nursery school, family day care home, or development center the child shall be excluded from further attendance if they do not obtain the required immunizations within no more than 10 school days following receipt of notice. This is herewith leaving all California parents with health concerns regarding immunization, and their children, at the mercy of the punishments and penalties of the Courts resulting from SB 277 when combined with California’s already existing compulsory education laws.
