Bill > SB108

This bill requires employers who mandate employee immunizations to allow exceptions for employees with sincerely held religious beliefs against immunization or for whom a health care provider determines the immunization would be harmful to their health, with specific definitions provided for "health care provider" and requiring employers to notify employees of these exemption rights and obtain written acknowledgment. The bill also establishes that an employee injured by a violation of these provisions can pursue civil action for damages and attorney fees, and can also claim compensation under workers' compensation for adverse reactions to required immunizations, with provisions for crediting payments between the two. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to clarify definitions related to employment practices, including those concerning pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, and explicitly makes it an unlawful practice for employers to require immunizations from employees who meet the criteria for religious or medical exemptions.
