Bill > SB00425

This bill prohibits health care providers in the state from discriminating against persons in the provision of health care services based on factors such as race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, age, disability, or status as a veteran or victim of domestic violence. The bill defines "health care provider" broadly to include any person, corporation, facility, or institution licensed by the state to provide health care services. It also adds this new anti-discrimination provision to the existing list of "discriminatory practices" under state law. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
