An act relating to prohibiting discrimination based on immunization status
This bill adds "immunization status" to Vermont's existing anti-discrimination laws, prohibiting discrimination based on vaccination history in three key areas: public accommodations (like restaurants and stores), housing (including rentals and sales), and employment. It defines "immunization status" as an individual's vaccination record for infectious diseases. The law prevents businesses, landlords, and employers from refusing service, housing, or jobs, or imposing different terms, due to a person's vaccination status. This applies to all covered entities across Vermont, expanding current protections to include vaccination history as a protected characteristic.
