HB 2303 was introduced and referred to the House Commerce Committee on 1/19/2023. This bill is sponsored by House Member Cory McGarr.
HB 2303 is amending Title 23, Chapter 2, Article 1, Arizona revised statutes, by adding section 23-207 to read: Except as otherwise provided by federal law, an employer may not require or request an employee's vaccination records as a condition of employment.
NVIC SUPPORTS HB 2303 because it prohibits an employer from requiring or requesting an employee's vaccination records as a condition of employment. NVIC is opposed to all vaccination mandates and discrimination based on vaccination status. Vaccines are pharmaceutical products that carry a risk of injury and death and vaccination records are private health information between an individual and their health care provider. Disclosing vaccination status should not be a condition for continued employment.
