Two bills—HF3239 and its Senate companion SF3439—seek to eliminate the conscientious exemption for the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella). If passed, only medical exemptions would remain, leaving no option for families with religious, ethical, or personal objections. Would affect: All Minnesota children; Public school, Private school, Daycare & Homeschool

⚠️ Why This Matters: Parental Autonomy: Families—not the state—should make medical decisions for children. Medical Freedom: One-size-fits-all mandates ignore legitimate concerns and risk bodily autonomy. Religious Liberty: These bills disregard First Amendment protections for faith-based objections. Precedent Setting: If passed, this opens the door to eliminating other vaccine exemptions.
