If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by prohibiting employers, government entities, and healthcare entities from requiring the administration of emergency use products as a condition of employment or service. Specifically, it would insert new language defining that "an employer may not require the administration of an emergency use product" and similarly for government and healthcare entities, referencing the definition of such products as outlined in federal law.
Additionally, the bill would introduce definitions for "government entity" and "healthcare entity," clarifying that a government entity includes the state and its political subdivisions that utilize tax revenues, while a healthcare entity is defined as per existing statutes. The bill aims to ensure that no entity can mandate the use of emergency medical products, thereby reinforcing individual choice in health-related decisions.
