Prohibit the requirement of a COVID-19 vaccination as a prerequisite for any state funded program or activity
This bill prohibits any organization receiving state funding from requiring COVID-19 vaccination as a condition for employment or participation in its programs. It mandates exemptions for medical reasons (verified by a physician) or sincerely held religious beliefs (via notarized statement), and bans discrimination against employees using these exemptions. The law applies to all state-funded entities, including government agencies, schools, and private businesses, but excludes Medicare/Medicaid-certified facilities due to federal regulations. The bill takes immediate effect upon passage.
