UPDATE: 3/11/2023 - HB 2376 died. It failed to be scheduled for a hearing in the House Health and Human Resources Committee before the session ended on 3/11/2023.
HB 2376 was introduced and referred to the House Health and Human Resources Committee on 1/11/2023. It was sponsored by Delegate John Paul Hott.
This bill would make it an unlawful discriminatory practice for a healthcare provider to provide lesser or disparate treatment to a patient based upon their vaccination status. A healthcare provider may implement reasonable accommodation measures to protect the safety and health of employees, patients, visitors, and other persons from COVID-19; however, a healthcare provider may not refuse to treat a patient based upon their vaccination status, nor may they provide lesser or disparate treatment to patients based upon that vaccination status.
