House Second Readers
Summary
The bill repeals the authority of Georgia’s Department of Public Health and county health boards to mandate vaccinations or other preventive measures. It also prohibits state or local governments and private businesses from requiring vaccine proof, post‑infection recovery documentation, or face masks as a condition for services, employment, education, or entry. Supporters say it protects individual medical freedom, while opponents warn it could limit public‑health responses.
