Bill > HB4986

This bill, titled the "Informed Consent in the Workplace Act of 2019", prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals who have not received or decline to receive the influenza vaccination. The bill prohibits employers from requiring unvaccinated individuals to wear face masks or display a mark distinguishing them, and from disclosing an individual's vaccination status to the public. It also prohibits retaliation against individuals who file complaints, testify, or oppose violations of the act. The bill requires employers offering influenza vaccinations to inform employees of their rights, and employees can decline the vaccination without stating a reason. The bill allows individuals aggrieved by violations to bring civil suits and recover injunctive relief, damages, and attorney's fees.
