An Act relating to public health; prohibiting public entities and contractors from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations or discriminating due to vaccination status; defining term; providing for codification; and declaring an emergency.

AI Summary

This bill makes it illegal for any government agency, including federal, state, or local entities like municipalities, counties, school districts, and state colleges or universities, as well as any business that has a contract with these government entities, to force any Oklahoma resident to get a COVID-19 vaccination or any of its variants. Furthermore, these entities and their contractors are prohibited from treating someone unfairly or discriminating against them based on whether or not they have been vaccinated. The bill also defines "political subdivision" to include these various local government bodies and educational institutions, and it declares an emergency, meaning the law will take effect immediately upon its passage and approval.
