 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The Communicable Disease  Prevention  Act  is
 6    amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
 7        (410 ILCS 315/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 22.12)
 8        Sec.  2.  Immunizations.  The Department of Public Health
 9    shall promulgate rules and regulations requiring immunization
10    of  children  against   preventable   communicable   diseases
11    designated   by   the  Director.  Before  any  regulation  or
12    amendment  of  a  regulation  thereto  is   prescribed,   the
13    Department  shall conduct a public hearing regarding the such
14    regulation. The Department may prescribe additional rules and
15    regulations for immunization of other  diseases  as  vaccines
16    are developed.
17        The provisions of this Act shall not apply if:
18             1.   The  parent or guardian of the child objects to
19        immunization of the child thereto on the grounds that the
20        administration of immunizing agents conflicts with his or
21        her religious tenets or practices or,
22             2.  A physician employed by the parent  or  guardian
23        to  provide  care  and treatment to the child states that
24        the physical condition of the  child  is  such  that  the
25        administration  of one or more of the required immunizing
26        agents would be detrimental to the health of the child.
