Creates provisions related to certain experimental or investigational medical treatments
HB 1526 prohibits state officials and public entities from forcing individuals to receive medications, vaccinations, or injections that have not been fully authorized by the FDA, are only allowed under emergency use, or are currently in safety trials. The bill includes specific exceptions that allow health facilities to require COVID-19 vaccines for employees participating in federal programs and permits colleges to require vaccines from students to receive federal funding. Additionally, the legislation modifies procedures for handling discrimination complaints by allowing individuals to request a letter from the commission that grants them the right to file a civil lawsuit within ninety days. If a lawsuit is filed under these new rules, the court can award damages based on the size of the employer, but the plaintiff must prove that the discriminatory action was directly caused by their protected classification.
