An Act prohibiting COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of entry
This bill prohibits the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its entities from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for entry into the state, public buildings, schools, colleges, and private businesses. It also prevents private businesses from mandating vaccination for employment and bars public accommodations, such as resorts and amusement venues, from requiring vaccination for entry. By amending existing state laws, the legislation ensures that no government agency, educational institution, or private entity can enforce vaccination rules for access to these locations.
