Okay,
I think we can both eat some words. It is legislated, but there are religious or physical endangerment clauses (Title 32, Chapter 1, Section 46):

This second site also gives alot of other facts to help out on the issue.

It's probably NOT "state law", but "mandated" by the State Health Office, an unelected, non-academic bureau w/in State Govt.
Of course, if you can provide the law (code and section) from the Commonwealth Law that shows this, I'll eat my words (virtually, of course!)
:-)
something like 40 states allow for religious exemptions, another 15 allow exemptions on philosophical grounds.
That, plus the AAPS' recommendation is enough for me to question any self-appointed Godlike correctness on the part of the State Health Office.
