HEALTH FREEDOM ACT -- Amends and adds to existing law to provide that an employee shall not be terminated based upon health care services preference.
AI Summary
This bill amends and adds to existing law to prohibit employers from terminating or discriminating against employees based on their preference for healthcare services, specifically in relation to the COVID-19 vaccine. The bill defines key terms such as "employee," "health care services," and "penalty," and establishes that employees have the freedom to decline the COVID-19 vaccine without facing employment consequences. The bill also requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees who decline the vaccine, such as the use of personal protective equipment or COVID-19 testing, unless doing so would cause an undue hardship. Additionally, the bill empowers the state attorney general to take action to defend or prosecute the rights protected under this legislation.
