emergency use products; employers; prohibition

HB 2012 prohibits employers, government entities, and healthcare providers in Arizona from requiring employees, clients, or patients to receive federally authorized emergency use medical treatments (such as vaccines or therapies approved under emergency use authorizations during health crises). The bill explicitly bans these requirements as a condition of employment, service, or care, using the federal definition from the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. It applies to all employers, state/local government agencies, and healthcare facilities covered under Arizona law. The bill was passed by the legislature in April 2025 but was vetoed by the governor on April 7, 2025, so it did not become law.
