AI Summary
This bill requires all county or state-supported COVID-19 testing sites to provide free antibody testing for employees whose employers require proof of COVID-19 vaccination. Additionally, if an employer requires proof of COVID-19 vaccination, the employer must accept a positive COVID-19 antibody test, which may not be required more than twice annually, as an alternative to proof of vaccination. The bill aims to provide an exemption from COVID-19 vaccination requirements for individuals who have developed natural immunity to the virus through prior infection.
