Senate BILL NUMBER: SB 277



Several points show how Senate Bill 277 is against people.
·         There is no mention about natural immunity from having had the disease being able to exempt a person from taking the vaccination
·         A body, like the CDC, can demand that a vaccination for a previously unlisted disease be given under this law when it so chooses
·         A so-called measles outbreak supposedly caused politicians to react by implementing vaccination requirements, yet it is for many vaccines, not just measles
·         The US was supposedly founded on religious freedom, yet this bill-to-be-law has crossed out the part of the old section that gave parents the right to raise their children following their personal beliefs
It seems to be that the authorities tried to manipulate parents by the recent law forcing parents to get
permission from a health care practitioner in order for their unvaccinated children to attend school didn’t scare too many parents.  So now, because about 100 people of the roughly 320,435,140 people in the US supposedly
had measles, the public is buying that Senate Bill 277 is necessary. 
This is disgusting on so many levels but mainly because a basic, even more benign freedom, such as feeding the
public, will be next.  When will too crazy be too much for you?   Perhaps when the They enact a law forcing you to feed your children GMOed corn… Oh, wait. They know they don’t have to do that—you’re already feeding your
kids GMOed popcorn, tortillas, corn on the cob, and chips in a bag with spices on them.
I'd love to know how long ago they wrote this law just waiting for the right time to lay it on the public. The world
over, the They are also creating spaces so their next plan can be to corral unvaccinated people, because they
know many kids will be pulled out of school, but will still be around the public.
Please research vaccinations.
"BILL NUMBER: SB 277 INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senators Pan and Allen (Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Gonzalez) (Coauthors: Senators Beall, Block, De León, Hall, Hertzberg, Hill, Jackson, Leno, McGuire, Mitchell, Stone, Wieckowski, and Wolk) (Coauthors: Assembly Members Baker, Chiu, Cooper, Low, McCarty, Nazarian, Rendon, Mark Stone, and Wood) FEBRUARY 19, 2015 An act to add Section 48980.5 to the Education Code, and to amend Section 120325 of, and to repeal and add Section 120365 of, the Health and Safety Code, relating to public health. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 277, as introduced, Pan. Public health: vaccinations. (1) Existing law prohibits the governing authority of a school or other institution from unconditionally admitting any person as a pupil of any public or private elementary or secondary school, child care center, day nursery, nursery school, family day care home, or development center, unless prior to his or her admission to that institution he or she has been fully immunized against various diseases, including measles, mumps, and pertussis, subject to any specific age criteria. Existing law authorizes an exemption from those provisions for medical reasons or because of personal beliefs, if specified forms are submitted to the governing authority. This bill would eliminate the exemption from immunization based upon personal beliefs. The bill would make conforming changes to related provisions. (2) Existing law requires the governing board of a school district, at the beginning of the first semester or quarter of the regular school term, to make certain notifications to parents or guardians of minor pupils including, among others, specified rights and responsibilities of a parent or guardian and specified school district policies and procedures. This bill would require the governing board of a school district to also include in the notifications provided to parents or guardians of minor pupils at the beginning of the regular school term the immunization rates for the school in which a pupil is enrolled for each required immunization. By requiring school districts to notify parents or guardians of school immunization rates, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
