HB 3838 prohibits discrimination based on vaccination status or the possession of digital "immunity passports" in Oklahoma. It bans employers, government services, and public accommodations from denying jobs, services, or access due to vaccine status, while exempting existing school immunization requirements and healthcare facilities following federal CMS/CDC rules. The bill defines "immunity passport" as digital health records and explicitly protects individuals from being required to receive vaccines under emergency authorization or clinical trials. It becomes effective November 1, 2026, and aims to preserve medical privacy and prevent discriminatory practices observed during the pandemic.
