A 9-year-old boy spoke on Wednesday morning, urging the committee not to remove the religious exemption. He said he testified last year as well.
“I was really upset this morning when I realized we are doing this all over again. I love my school, my teachers, my friends, sports, summer camp and now I can lose it all due to HB 6423 and SB 68, he said. If the bill passes I will no longer be able to go to school, learn with my amazing teachers, enjoy my friends and my favorite sport, nor attend the camp. This makes me feel sad,” he added.
