§ 20-35-4-6 — Religious objection to medical examination

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), this
chapter does not require a student to:
(1) undergo physical or medical examination or treatment; or
(2) be compelled to receive medical instruction;
if the parent of the student, in writing, notifies the teacher or principal
or other person in charge of the student that the parent objects to the
medical examination, treatment, or instruction because the parent relies
in good faith on prayer or spiritual means for the treatment of sickness
or affliction.
(b) An objection may not be made to a physical or medical
examination of a child with a physical disability to determine whether
the child shall be admitted to any class or school for children with
disabilities.
