AI Summary

This bill establishes a state of emergency within the House of Representatives due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its variants. It requires all House members, officers, and employees physically working at the State House to either be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, request a reasonable accommodation due to a disability or medical condition, or request a reasonable accommodation due to a religious belief. The bill also allows the House Working Group on COVID-19 to implement additional mitigation measures, such as mask-wearing and testing, and provides paid time off for vaccination. The temporary emergency rules will remain in effect until the House declares the state of emergency has ceased.
