    Directs the Legislative Research Commission (LRC) to study all existing childhood immunization laws enacted under GS Chapter 130A, Article 6, Part 2, with the end of reevaluating their effectiveness and necessity for promoting public health and safety. Sets out two specific areas that the LRC should focus on, namely (1) current medical and scientific evidence on the immunizations required and (2) the health problems that occur after these required immunizations, including potential links to autism. Also directs the LRC to make four specified recommendations, including whether to add or eliminate any immunizations to/from the state's current schedule.

    Requires the LRC to report its findings, with any recommended changes, to the 2016 Regular Session of the 2015 General Assembly upon its convening.
