Bill > HB06612

This bill aims to prevent businesses or organizations receiving state funding from discriminating against individuals based on their COVID-19-related health choices, specifically protecting people who choose to wear a surgical mask, have received a COVID-19 vaccine, or have been tested for COVID-19. By prohibiting such discrimination, the bill seeks to ensure that individuals cannot be treated unfairly or denied services because of their personal health decisions related to the pandemic. The legislation would apply to any entity that receives state funding, which could include a wide range of organizations such as healthcare facilities, educational institutions, government contractors, and other state-supported businesses. The bill's purpose is to safeguard individual rights and prevent potential stigmatization or marginalization of people based on their medical precautions or vaccination status during the COVID-19 pandemic.
