AI Summary
This bill prohibits hospitals from requiring physicians, nurses, health care students, and other healthcare providers or trainees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or any other disease as a condition of employment, contract, internship, training, residency, or similar arrangements, and also forbids discrimination based on vaccination status. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to remove an exception that previously allowed healthcare settings to implement such vaccination requirements, meaning this prohibition now applies to all public and private healthcare settings. The bill also declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
