This bill makes COVID-19 vaccination records strictly confidential and prohibits anyone from sharing or requesting an individual's vaccination status without their written consent, with limited exceptions for disease control investigations and protecting named individuals' health. Violations—such as a doctor's office or employer disclosing someone's vaccine status without permission—would be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill also allows the Department of Health to use vaccination data only for anonymous statistics or disease prevention purposes.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
