AI Summary
This bill prohibits state agencies and political subdivisions from requiring COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for exercising rights or receiving public benefits. It also prohibits state agencies and employers from requiring individuals to disclose their COVID-19 vaccination status or possess a COVID-19 immunity passport. The bill makes it unlawful discrimination to deny services, employment, or access to public accommodations based on an individual's COVID-19 vaccination status or lack of a COVID-19 immunity passport, though employers can still recommend employees receive the vaccine. The bill also allows individuals, including parents of minors, to object to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine for religious, medical, or other grounds without having to provide justification or documentation.
