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, governmental entities, or employers to deny services, employment, or access to public accommodations based on a person's vaccination status. However, the bill clarifies that this does not apply to vaccination requirements for schools and daycare facilities. Additionally, it allows health care facilities to inquire about employees' vaccination status for safety measures without being considered discriminatory.

A significant provision of 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 reinforces the protection of personal choice regarding vaccination in these specific circumstances. The bill aims to ensure that individuals are not coerced into receiving certain vaccines while also outlining the responsibilities of employers and health care facilities in managing vaccination status for safety purposes.
