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 an employee's vaccination status for safety measures without being considered discriminatory.

A significant provision of the bill is the insertion that explicitly states, "An individual may not be required to receive a vaccine whose use is allowed under an emergency use authorization or a vaccine undergoing safety trials." This reinforces the protection of individuals from being mandated to receive certain vaccines that are not fully approved. The bill also includes definitions for "immunity passport" and "vaccination status" to clarify the terms used within the legislation.
