AN ACT relating to providing health services to a person who is not vaccinated.
HB 629 prohibits health facilities and providers in Kentucky from refusing to provide health services to a person solely because they have not received a specific vaccine. The bill directly affects unvaccinated patients seeking care and healthcare providers who must comply with this requirement. Key provisions require compliance under KRS Chapter 216, explicitly stating that vaccination status cannot be the sole reason for denying services. This policy change aims to ensure equal access to care regardless of individual vaccination choices.
