Bill Summary
AN ACT To enact R.S. 40:7.1, relative to vaccinations and other aspects of personal medical status; to prohibit local governments from requiring proof or disclosure of medical status as a condition of participating in a constitutionally protected activity; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits local governments in Louisiana from requiring proof of medical status, such as vaccination records or COVID-19 test results, as a condition for participating in constitutionally protected activities like public assembly, petitioning the government, or commerce. The legislature finds that allowing local governments to impose different medical disclosure requirements would not be an effective exercise of the state's police powers. The bill does allow local governments to limit access to public events for individuals exhibiting signs of an infectious disease, but prohibits discrimination based on the Americans with Disabilities Act.
