Bill > S2137

Introduced Session

This bill concerns vaccine mandates and the eligibility for unemployment benefits for certain health care workers. Specifically, the bill provides that, notwithstanding any law to the contrary, an unemployed individual who is otherwise eligible may not be deemed ineligible to receive unemployment benefits because the individual was terminated or voluntarily left employment as a result of non-compliance with Executive Order 283 of 2022. Executive Order 283 of 2022 requires healthcare facilities and high-risk congregate settings to adopt and implement policies requiring covered workers at covered settings to receive and be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations.
