Bans vaccine manufacturers from paying, and practitioners from receiving, financial incentives for giving vaccines, and requires practitioners to give parents specified materials before vaccinating a minor. Parents deserve full information and care free of financial incentives before their children are vaccinated.
Lets individuals refuse examination, testing, or treatment, bans discrimination based on vaccination status, requires informed consent and an alternative schedule option for children’s vaccines, and lets pharmacists provide ivermectin without a prescription. Every person should be free to decline medical treatment without losing access to care.
Adds remedies under Arizona’s parents’ bill of rights. Parents, not the state, should direct their children’s upbringing, and they need a way to enforce that right.
Would change state law on immunizations and medical exemptions, including the sections that govern school immunization exemptions. Failed passage in the Senate committee in April 2026. Medical exemptions protect children who cannot safely be vaccinated, so CODR watches every change to them closely.
Would add new sections to the Health and Safety Code relating to immunizations. Held in committee in August 2026. The description does not show whether it expands or limits parents’ choices, so CODR is watching it.
Relates to access to library material and to affirmative defenses for offenses involving distribution of indecent material to minors. The bill touches both parents’ role in what children see and free expression, so CODR is watching it.
