HD 1313 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to employee protections

This bill prohibits Massachusetts state and local government entities from requiring COVID-19 vaccination for public services, facilities, or employment. It specifically bans termination for not receiving the vaccine in public sector jobs (including schools, towns, and water districts) and prohibits issuing "vaccine passports" or sharing vaccination records with third parties. The bill allows individuals to retain their personal CDC vaccination record cards but forbids government agencies from creating standardized verification systems. It applies to all public benefits, services, and facilities provided by Massachusetts or its political subdivisions. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
