An Act providing for informed consent for vaccinations and for penalties.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Informed Consent Protection Act, prohibits health care practitioners and facilities from discriminating against patients or their parents/guardians for choosing to delay or decline vaccinations. It also prohibits health care providers from accepting payments or incentives from insurance or pharmaceutical companies for patient vaccinations, and bars them from requiring patients to sign liability waivers for declining vaccinations. The bill allows the Department of Health and relevant licensing boards to impose fines and penalties for violations. It also requires the Department to publish a summary of patient rights and for health care providers to inform patients about how to file complaints.
