Law
Coronavirus stop act
CORONAVIRUS – Adds to existing law to establish the Coronavirus Stop Act to prohibit certain actions related to coronavirus.

RS30425 / S1130

The coronavirus and its vaccinations are relatively new medical developments, and the decision to receive such a vaccination is a very personal decision. Individuals should not be discriminated against because they have or have not received a coronavirus vaccination. This legislation establishes limitations on the ability of private and public entities to impose a requirement that individuals receive a coronavirus vaccination.

This is not anticipated to have any significant impact on the State General Fund as it does not impose requirements for new actions requiring expenditure of funds.
