Bill > HB1449

This bill establishes the Vaccine Mandate Prohibition Act, which broadly restricts COVID-19 vaccine requirements across multiple types of organizations, referred to as "covered entities." These entities include state agencies, political subdivisions, organizations receiving state or federal funds, entities with state-licensed professionals, state-licensed hospitals, and private businesses. The bill prohibits these covered entities from requiring COVID-19 vaccines for any purpose, including employment, professional licensing, education, business entry, or transportation access. Additionally, the bill prevents covered entities from discriminating against, punishing, demoting, or isolating employees based on their COVID-19 vaccination status. The legislation also provides legal protection for covered entities, stating that they cannot be held liable in civil actions related to COVID-19 exposure if they comply with the restrictions outlined in the act. The bill is designed to take effect immediately as an emergency measure, reflecting the legislature's view of the urgent nature of these vaccine mandate restrictions.
