vaccination mandates; masks; prohibition

HB 2086 prohibits Arizona state and local governments, as well as businesses, from requiring residents to wear masks or receive COVID-19 vaccinations (or variants) for entry or employment. The bill specifically bans mask mandates except for pre-existing workplace safety measures and prohibits vaccination requirements for COVID-19, with exceptions for government-owned healthcare facilities. It applies to all state/local government entities using tax revenues and businesses operating in Arizona, removing existing mandates without creating new requirements. The law directly affects residents, businesses, and government operations by eliminating these specific public health measures.
