SB 346 is at the very early stage and has been referred to the Senate Committee on Healthcare:

North Carolina General Assembly - Senate Bill 346 Information/History (2015-2016 Session)

My prediction is that it won't be approved.

Write the local senators that are proposing the bill and let them know that. I've already done so, and others I know that live here have as well.
We were in the same position as you and we chose this place based on several criteria and vaccine laws were up at the top. But do understand finding a pediatrician here that will see an unvaccinated or not up to date on vaccines child will be quite difficult no matter what the reason (even medical) even if this doesn't pass. Even dentists have turned him away, its ridiculous considering half of the adults in the waiting room aren't up to date either. If you read my previous posts, it took several pediatricians and a referral from a friend to find one that would even see my child. Feel free to PM.

Wow a bill that seems like a good idea! It's uncommon to see something I can support from our NC legislators, I'm glad to see this.

All "excepted" studies paid for by the people that make the product and the country that pays the claims. But I'm sure they are completely fair and honest without conflict of interest. Its a denial of science to refuse any studies "not" funded by big pharma, but I guess anyone thats not on their billion dollar payroll is a quack and will lose their license soon enough.

So, are your opinions on medical / pharmaceutical research based on your own experiences working in that field, or based on what you may have read on websites like Natural News?

The only two countries that allow pharmaceutical advertising are the US and new Zealand. Among the top 10 television advertisers in the US are pharmaceutical companies, Proctor and Gamble ranks number one. You would have to pretty naive to not think that effects what the news and media conveys to the public out of fear of upsetting their biggest advertisers.

One of many sites on biggest advertisers:
