Prohibits discrimination against individuals who have not received COVID-19 vaccine.

This New Jersey bill (S 454) prohibits requiring individuals to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccine or asking about their vaccination status for 15 specific activities, including employment, education, healthcare, business access, and public venues. It directly affects residents, employees, students, and visitors who interact with businesses, schools, healthcare providers, or public spaces in New Jersey. The law makes it illegal to treat someone unfairly based on not receiving the vaccine or refusing to disclose their status, with violators facing $25,000 civil penalties plus attorney fees. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
