The "Constitutional Right to Health Freedom Act" revokes the authority of the Secretary of Health and Environment and local health officers to mandate isolation or quarantine of individuals, eliminating penalties for non-compliance. The bill establishes a civil cause of action for employees who are discharged for following isolation or quarantine recommendations or based on their vaccination status. Key amendments include the removal of the Secretary's ability to adopt public health enforcement regulations, shifting to a recommendation-based approach for health measures. The bill also emphasizes the confidentiality of health information and provides immunity for individuals reporting infectious diseases in good faith.

In addition, the bill addresses remote learning in school districts by limiting the number of hours students can participate in remote learning to 40 hours per school year, unless exceptions are made for extraordinary circumstances or through state board waivers due to disasters. It classifies students exceeding this limit as "remote learning students" for state aid purposes and mandates reporting of remote enrollment to the state board. The bill streamlines the legal framework governing remote learning and its funding while repealing several existing statutes related to health and education. The act's effective date is contingent upon its publication in the statute book.
