GRACE Act

This bill would bar federal education funds from going to elementary schools, secondary schools, local school districts, or state education agencies that have a vaccination requirement unless they offer a religious exemption. Under the required policy, a person could be exempted if they, or a parent or guardian for a child under 18, state that getting the vaccine would violate a sincerely held religious belief. The school or agency could not require any documentation to support that statement. The bill covers vaccine requirements tied to enrollment, attendance, athletics or other student activities, and employment.
