Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit agencies from issuing vaccine passports, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "No Vaccine Passports Act," prohibits federal agencies from issuing vaccine passports or sharing COVID-19 vaccination records of United States citizens with third parties. In this context, a vaccine passport is a standardized document that certifies an individual's COVID-19 vaccination status. The bill specifically prevents any agency (as defined in section 551 of title 5, United States Code, which typically includes executive departments and federal government entities) from creating, publishing, or sharing such documentation. Additionally, the bill stipulates that proof of COVID-19 vaccination cannot be required for accessing federal property, federal services, congressional grounds, or congressional services. By enacting these provisions, the bill aims to protect individuals' medical privacy and prevent potential discrimination based on vaccination status in federal contexts.
