Creates provisions relating to employer liability for actions taken against employees who fail to receive a COVID-19 vaccine
This bill prohibits Missouri employers from refusing to hire, firing, or denying promotions to employees who choose not to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. It allows individuals who face these actions to sue their employers in court to seek damages, including legal fees, and guarantees the right to a jury trial. The law applies to all types of employers and workers within the state, ensuring that vaccination status cannot be used as a basis for employment decisions.
