This bill establishes a new law in Oklahoma that prohibits public entities and contractors from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for residents and from discriminating against individuals based on their vaccination status. Specifically, it applies to federal and state agencies, political subdivisions, and businesses that have contracts with these entities. The bill defines "political subdivision" to include municipalities, counties, school districts, and state educational institutions, among others.
Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval. This urgent implementation underscores the bill's intent to protect residents' rights regarding vaccination requirements and discrimination related to their vaccination status.
