Summary

The measure would permit an employer to offer a vaccination but would require the employer to respect an employee’s right to decline without facing coercion or adverse employment actions. It applies to all Indiana employers who provide a free immunization and creates a $5,000 civil penalty for violations, while allowing employees to sue to enforce the rule. The bill repeals existing COVID‑19 exemption provisions.
