Bill Summary

Prohibit discrimination based on vaccine status or possessing immunity passport

AI Summary

This bill prohibits discrimination based on a person's vaccination status or possession of an "immunity passport" (a document indicating immunity to a disease). It prevents entities, employers, and public accommodations from denying services, employment, or access to individuals based on their vaccination or immunity status, with some exceptions. The bill defines key terms and includes provisions for notifying local health departments and the Department of Public Health and Human Services. It also provides an exemption for licensed nursing homes, long-term care facilities, and assisted living facilities during periods when complying with the bill would conflict with regulations or guidance from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
