Bill > HB06613

This bill aims to protect students and their family members from discrimination based on their COVID-19 vaccination status in schools and higher education institutions. The proposed legislation would prohibit any school, whether public or private, and any college or university from taking adverse actions against a student or their family members solely because of their vaccination record related to COVID-19. By preventing discrimination, the bill seeks to ensure that students cannot be penalized, treated differently, or face negative consequences in their educational environment based on whether they have been vaccinated against COVID-19 or not. The bill appears to be a response to potential ongoing or anticipated discriminatory practices that might emerge in educational settings during or in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to protect students' rights and prevent potential unfair treatment based on personal health decisions.
