2 by changing Section 2.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

6 amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
7 (410 ILCS 315/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 22.12)
8 Sec. 2. Immunization required. The Department of Public
9 Health shall promulgate rules and regulations requiring
10 immunization of children against preventable communicable
11 diseases designated by the Director. Before any regulation or
12 amendment thereto is prescribed, the Department shall conduct
13 a public hearing regarding such regulation. The Department
14 may prescribe additional rules and regulations for
15 immunization of other diseases as vaccines are developed.
16 The provisions of this Act shall not apply if:
17 1. The parent or guardian of the child objects thereto
18 on the grounds that the administration of immunizing agents
19 conflicts with his religious tenets or practices or,
20 2. A physician employed by the parent or guardian to
21 provide care and treatment to the child states that the
22 physical condition of the child is such that the
23 administration of one or more of the required immunizing
24 agents would be detrimental to the health of the child.
