What it does
The GRACE Act would prohibit federal education funds from being awarded to any educational institution or agency that enforces a vaccination requirement unless it allows individuals to claim a religious exemption without providing any documentation or proof of their sincerely held belief. This applies to elementary and secondary schools, local and state educational agencies, and covers vaccination requirements tied to enrollment, attendance, athletics, other student activities, or employment. The bill defines a "child" as anyone under 18 and requires institutions to accept religious exemption assertions at face value, with no supporting evidence permitted to be requested.
