A bill for an act relating to the Iowa medical freedom Act, including limitations on requiring medical interventions by businesses, governmental entities, and educational institutions, modifying state authority during public health disasters, and including effective date provisions.
This bill prohibits Iowa businesses, schools, and government agencies from requiring medical interventions (like vaccines or treatments) as a condition for services, employment, or access to facilities. It specifically bans discrimination against individuals based on medical intervention status, including in hiring, pay, or admission. Limited exceptions apply only for employment requiring travel to foreign countries that mandate specific medical interventions, requiring written contracts or 14 days' advance notice. The law directly affects all public-facing institutions and employers in Iowa, including schools, hospitals, and government services.
