The proposed bill would amend current statutes by introducing new prohibitions against requiring medical interventions in various contexts. Specifically, it would prevent business entities from refusing services or employment based on an individual's medical intervention status, and it would restrict schools and government entities from mandating medical interventions for attendance or employment, with certain exceptions for specific health conditions. The bill also stipulates that any requirement for medical interventions related to foreign travel must be clearly communicated in advance, and it establishes that no different compensation can be offered based on an individual's medical intervention status.

Additionally, the bill defines "medical intervention" broadly and allows enforcement by the Attorney General or local prosecutors, who can seek injunctive relief against violators. It also mandates that entities found in violation must cover the legal costs incurred during enforcement actions. The legislation is designated as the "Arizona Medical Freedom Act" and aims to ensure that individuals are not discriminated against based on their medical choices, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
