No Vaccine Passports Act
The No Vaccine Passports Act (S 181) prohibits federal agencies from creating or supporting vaccine passport systems, requires destruction of federal vaccination data within 30 days of enactment, and protects individuals' privacy regarding their vaccination status. The bill prevents discrimination based on vaccination status in employment, public accommodations, and access to federal services, requiring reasonable accommodations for unvaccinated individuals. It prohibits employers and businesses from requiring vaccine passports or denying services based on vaccination status without a valid business necessity. The law applies to all federal agencies, employers with 15+ employees, and public accommodations, with exceptions for medical necessity and national security. The bill does not prevent businesses from requiring masks or physical distancing for health reasons.
