History of Bill 198 and Now Bill 87 ISPA amendment (Education Sessions)

*Ontario Alert* – Update May 2016

The government of Ontario has tabled legislation (Bill 198) promised in their announced plan to amend the ISPA (Immunization of School Pupils Act) with a measure restricting students’ access to vaccine exemptions. The amendment would force parents seeking a personal belief or religious exemption to undergo a vaccine “education session” before being allowed to file a vaccine exemption for non-medical reasons. If passed, the amendment will be a green light for other provinces to impose similar restrictive measures.

Ontario Update June 2016

Some good news from the National Post!
Ontario bill to force parents to take course before exempting children from vaccines won’t pass this spring

While the National Post article states that Bill 198 will not be in place for the next school year (September 2016), the bill can be advanced in the Fall of 2016, or Spring of 2017.   Please continue to sign petitions and meet with your MPPs (details below).

Update October 13, 2016*

The Ontario Legislature was Prorogued when they returned from their summer break on September 12. If the government had been able to get all parties to agree to bring Bill 198 forward, the Immunization of School Pupils Amendment Act (ISPA), 2016, would have stayed as is – Bill 198. This has not happened. The only bill brought forward from the previous session is Bill 64. This means that Bill 198 is currently “dead”. However the Ontario Liberal government has announced (December 8, 2016) they plan to re-introduce the ISPA Educations Sessions Act as a new bill, which would mean it will get a new Bill number for which we remain alert. **Note, update Dec. 19, Bill 87 “An Act to implement health measures and measures relating to seniors by enacting, amending or repealing various statutes” includes the amendment to the ISPA.**

Update December 19, 2016

Bill 87 “An Act to implement health measures and measures relating to seniors by enacting, amending or repealing various statutes” includes the education sessions amendment to the ISPA.
