The 9-2 vote showed support among lawmakers for a modified version of legislation that has spurred heated debate.
A California Assembly committee backed new rules for vaccination exemptions on Thursday following a raucous, hours-long hearing in the midst of a national measles outbreak and renewed scrutiny of immunization policies.America's most populous state allows students exemptions from required vaccinations for medical reasons.
"It takes the state government and puts it squarely in the middle of the doctor and patient relationship," said Leigh Dundas of the group Advocates for Physicians' Rights, which has recently bought Facebook ads targeting the legislation.The five-hour hearing came to epitomize the heated debate around the bill. A packed gallery jeered, and some threatened Pan.
The measure, which Gov. Gavin Newsom said he will sign if it reaches his desk, comes as measles cases have reached a 25-year high in the U.S.Maine eliminated religious and philosophical exemptions, while New York lawmakers ended a religious exemption. Washington state halted most exemptions for the measles vaccine, though legislators in Oregon defeated a measure that would have made it harder for families to opt out.
- California Department of Public Health doctors or registered nurses would review exemptions issued by local medical providers who issue five or more a year or at schools with high exemption rates. Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Alameda, praised the bill during Thursday's hearing as "science-based" while still allowing robust medical exemptions.
