The bill H.60 aims to prohibit discrimination in employment and public accommodations based on an individual's immunization status. It introduces a definition for "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 category 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 unlawful employment practices section to include immunization status as a basis for discrimination, ensuring that employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations cannot discriminate against individuals based on their immunization history. The changes also involve the replacement of the term "persons" with "individuals" in certain contexts. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
