Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 6.

ON APRIL 1, 2021, THE SENATE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND PASSED SENATE BILL 386, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #1 removes the requirement that the department of education accept out-of-state medical records evidencing a child's immunization for the purposes of attending school and provides instead that such records evidencing a child's immunization will be sufficient for the purposes of attending school or child care. This amendment clarifies that such evidence of out-of-state immunization will be sufficient for a child to attend a public school. This amendment also adds that a parent of a child immunized in another state against the diseases designated by the commissioner of health must provide the department of health with the child's out-of-state immunization records for the parent's child to be permitted to attend a public school, nursery school, kindergarten, preschool, or child care facility in this state.
