A bill to allow parents to bring a lawsuit against the entity that prevents a student’s entry to a school on the basis of their immunization status advances from House Education. Houma Representative Beryl Amedee’s bill will give parents legal recourse if their child is denied admittance because they opted out of any vaccination.
“A state agency is supposed to enforce this, and the legal remedy is when they don’t a parent can sue. This is all the bill does is add that already existing option into the statutes,” said Amedee.
