The proposed bill, if enacted, would introduce significant changes to current statutes regarding medical interventions. It would prohibit business entities, ticket issuers, schools, and government entities from requiring individuals to receive or use any medical intervention, including vaccinations, as a condition for services, employment, or access to facilities. Specifically, it would prevent discrimination against individuals based on their medical intervention status and would require that any medical intervention requirement related to foreign travel be clearly stated in employment contracts or advance notices. Additionally, the bill would allow enforcement by the Attorney General or local prosecutors, who could seek injunctive relief and recover attorney fees from violators.

Current laws that allow certain medical requirements under specific circumstances would remain intact, such as those related to communicable disease outbreaks in schools. However, the bill would clarify that existing workplace safety measures unrelated to COVID-19 are exempt from these prohibitions. The legislation aims to establish a framework for medical freedom, ensuring that individuals cannot be compelled to undergo medical procedures or treatments against their will, thereby reinforcing personal choice in health-related matters.
