The proposed bill amends existing Arizona law to prohibit employers, government entities, and health care entities from requiring the administration of emergency use products, as defined by federal law, to their employees or as a condition of employment. This includes a specific reference to the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, ensuring that no individual can be mandated to receive such products in these contexts.
Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of "government entity" and "health care entity," specifying that a government entity includes the state and any political subdivisions that utilize tax revenues, while a health care entity is defined according to existing law. This legislation aims to protect employees from mandatory administration of emergency use products, reflecting a significant shift in the regulatory landscape regarding health care and employment practices in Arizona.
