The bill H.60 aims to prohibit discrimination in employment and public accommodations based on an individual's immunization status. It introduces a new definition of "immunization status," which encompasses an individual's immunization history, including whether they have received vaccinations against infectious diseases. The bill amends existing laws to include immunization status as a protected characteristic alongside race, creed, color, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in various sections related to public accommodations and unfair housing practices.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language in employment practices to ensure that discrimination based on immunization status is considered unlawful. It specifies that employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations cannot discriminate against individuals based on their immunization status, similar to other protected categories. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, if passed.
