A 3221 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits discrimination against pregnant women who have not received COVID-19 vaccine.

This bill prohibits requiring or asking pregnant women about their COVID-19 vaccination status or demanding proof of vaccination for any purpose. It directly affects pregnant women in New Jersey by making it unlawful for employers, schools, healthcare providers, businesses, and others to discriminate against them based on not being vaccinated or refusing to disclose vaccination status. Key provisions ban such requirements across 15 areas, including employment, education, healthcare access, and public accommodations. Violators face $25,000 civil penalties plus attorney fees in court. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
