Relating to prohibited discrimination by health care providers based on an individual's age, race, disability, immigration status, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.
HB 607 prohibits healthcare providers from discriminating against patients based on age, race, disability, immigration status, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity/expression. The bill directly affects patients seeking healthcare services and healthcare providers operating within the state. While the specific enforcement mechanisms and scope aren't detailed in the available context (as the full bill text is listed as "coming soon"), the title indicates it would establish explicit protections against these forms of discrimination in healthcare settings. The bill is currently in early stages (filed November 2024, referred to Public Health March 2025), so no further details are available.
