 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. 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.
