An Act relative to employee protections

HD 2301 prohibits Massachusetts state and local government entities from requiring COVID-19 vaccination for access to public facilities, services, or benefits, or for employment (including termination for non-vaccination). It bans government agencies from issuing or using "vaccine passports" to verify vaccination status for third parties, though individuals may keep CDC vaccination record cards. The bill directly affects public employees and residents accessing public services under state/local government jurisdiction. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
