AI Summary
This bill aims to prohibit any state department, agency, official, agent, or employee from mandating COVID-19 vaccination across multiple contexts in Maine. Specifically, the bill prevents state entities from requiring individuals, including healthcare workers, emergency services personnel, and professionals licensed under state boards, to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. The legislation applies broadly, ensuring that no person can be compelled to get a vaccine designed to prevent or increase immunity against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). By enacting this bill, the state would effectively remove any existing or potential vaccine requirements for COVID-19, regardless of the individual's profession or role. The bill spans several sections of Maine state law, including modifications to statutes governing state agencies, health regulations, and professional licensing boards, making the prohibition on COVID-19 vaccine mandates comprehensive and unambiguous.
