Employers may require specific vaccinations and booster shots as a condition of hire, but must provide written notice of each required vaccination on or before the employee's hire date.

Employers are prohibited from requiring employees to receive additional vaccinations (beyond boosters of initially required vaccines) as a condition of continued employment after hire.

Employers cannot discharge or discriminate against employees who refuse to receive additional vaccinations as a condition of continued employment.

Employers cannot require employees to waive the rights established by this section as a condition of hiring or continued employment.

Violations constitute a misdemeanor; the law does not apply to in-home care employees in private residences and does not affect existing bona fide employment contracts entered into before the effective date.
