COVID-19 response-2.

Wyoming's SF 1009 limits mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations in workplaces by requiring employers to provide 90 days' notice before implementing such mandates, establish religious/medical exemption processes, and offer reasonable alternatives like reassignment or testing. Employers must pay affected workers 50% of their wages for 13 weeks if they lose jobs due to refusing a vaccine mandate implemented after November 1, 2021. The bill directly affects employers (including healthcare and public accommodations) and employees who decline vaccination under new requirements. It also establishes a legal cause of action for damages related to vaccine-related terminations and amends workers' compensation to presume vaccine injuries are work-related.
