Bill > HB2303

This bill prohibits employers from requiring or coercing employees or job applicants to have a microchip implanted in their body for any reason, reinforcing the principle that decisions about an individual's body belong to them, not their employer. A microchip is defined as a device implanted beneath the skin that contains a unique identification number and personal information retrievable by a scanner, but this prohibition does not apply to medically necessary implants used for health conditions with voluntary consent. Employees who are harmed by a violation of this law can sue their employer in court to seek remedies such as injunctions, damages, and legal fees, with the bill defining "employer" broadly to include various business entities and government bodies, and "employee" to include both current workers and those seeking employment.
