What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires any employer that requires any employee or prospective
employee to receive an immunization as a condition of employment to waive the
immunization requirement for the employee or prospective employee if the employee
or prospective employee objects to the immunization for reasons of health, religion,
or personal conviction. Under the bill, no employer may require that an employee
or prospective employee provide any explanation or justification of the employee's or
prospective employee's objection to an immunization. Further, the bill requires an
employer to inform an employee or prospective employee of the employee's or
prospective employee's right to a waiver from the employer's immunization
requirements in writing at any time the employer informs the employee or
prospective employee of the employer's immunization requirements.
