AI Summary
This bill, titled the Informed Consent Protection Act, aims to protect the right of patients and parents/guardians to make informed decisions about vaccinations. It prohibits health care practitioners or facilities from discriminating against or harassing patients who choose to delay or decline vaccinations. The bill also bars health insurers from denying coverage or increasing premiums based on vaccination choices. Additionally, it prohibits health care providers from accepting payments or bonuses from insurance or pharmaceutical companies for patient vaccinations, and it prevents child protective services from investigating parents solely for declining vaccinations. The bill establishes penalties, including fines and license revocation, for violations. It also requires the Department of Health to publish a summary of patient rights and requires health care providers to inform patients of their rights and how to file complaints.
