Under this bill, if an employer requires its employees to receive a vaccine immunization for COVID-19 as a condition of employment, then an employee has the right to refuse the vaccine, immunization, or medication based on the employee's strongly held religious beliefs or right of conscience. In order to exercise the right of refusal, an employee must provide written notice to the employer stating the grounds for the refusal. If an employer discharges, suspends, or takes an adverse action against an employee for refusing to take a vaccine on the basis of the employee's strongly held religious beliefs or right of conscience, this bill provides the employee or former employee a cause of action against the employer for: (1) Up to eight weeks of lost wages; or (2) Other appropriate compensatory damages, not to exceed $5,000.
