The bill amends Section 49-2-312 of the Montana Code Annotated to prohibit discrimination based on vaccination status or possession of an immunity passport. It establishes that it is unlawful for individuals or governmental entities to deny services, employment, or other opportunities based on a person's vaccination status. However, the bill clarifies that this does not apply to vaccination requirements for schools and day-care facilities. Additionally, it allows health care facilities to inquire about an employee's vaccination status for safety measures without being considered discriminatory.

A significant change in the bill is the insertion of language that explicitly states that individuals cannot be required to receive vaccines that are authorized for emergency use or are undergoing safety trials. This provision aims to protect individuals from mandatory vaccination under these specific circumstances, reinforcing the rights of individuals regarding their health choices.
