What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides that, for the purposes of worker's compensation, an injury
caused to an employee by a vaccine that the employee was required by or coerced by
his or her employer to receive is presumed to be caused by the individual's
employment.
The presumption requires a diagnosis and may be rebutted by specific evidence
that the injury was caused outside of employment.
