How is it easier? Perry's EO said the form had to be accepted via the internet. Our Opt out now requires taking a notarized copy to the school.

Q. What should parents or guardians do with the vaccine exemption affidavit form?
A. After the original vaccine exemption affidavit form is signed and notarized, it must be submitted to the child’s school.
No need for a notary, no need for "the can't be counterfeited form" from the state.
(a) Serologic confirmations of immunity to measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or varicella, are acceptable. Evidence of measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis A, or hepatitis B, or varicella illnesses must consist of a valid laboratory report that indicates confirmation of either immunity or infection. (b) A written statement from a parent (or legal guardian or managing conservator), school nurse, or physician attesting to a child's positive history of varicella disease (chickenpox), or of varicella immunity, is acceptable in lieu of a vaccine record for that disease.
No, Perry did not say the form had to be accepted via internet. You may have inferred that from context, but it is not what he said. The EO said that APPLICATION for the form had to be made available via the internet. The HPV opt-out would still require taking a notarized copy of the state-proved form to the school.

In case anybody thinks the typo somehow meant to say state-APPROVED, which it did not mean to say!
