The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6613, aims to amend current statutes to explicitly prohibit discrimination by schools and institutions of higher education against students or their family members based on COVID-19 vaccination status. The bill seeks to ensure that no student or their family member faces adverse treatment in educational settings due to their vaccination choices related to COVID-19.

The legal language inserted into the current law states that schools, both public and independent, are barred from discriminating against any student or their family member due to their COVID-19 vaccination status. There are no deletions from existing law mentioned in the text of the bill. The overarching goal of this legislation is to protect individuals from potential biases or penalties linked to their vaccination status in educational environments.
