The bill establishes a new law in Oklahoma that prohibits public entities and contractors from requiring residents to receive COVID-19 vaccinations or any variants thereof. It also prohibits discrimination against individuals based on their vaccination status. The law applies to federal and state agencies, political subdivisions, and businesses that have contracts with these entities. The definition of "political subdivision" is provided, which includes municipalities, counties, school districts, and state educational institutions.
Additionally, the bill includes a declaration of emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgency is justified by the need to preserve public peace, health, or safety. The new legal language will be codified as Section 1-502.5 of Title 63 in the Oklahoma Statutes.
