Relating to employer civil liability for a vaccine requirement imposed on the employer's employees.
This bill allows employees to sue their employers for damages if they suffer health problems directly caused by a mandatory workplace vaccine requirement. It specifically applies to employees who did not qualify for two exemptions: religious or conscience-based objections, or a physician's medical contraindication. Employers who grant these exemptions are protected from liability under the law. The bill also permits courts to award attorneys' fees to successful plaintiffs and applies only to claims arising after its effective date.
