Businesses, schools, and governments could not require medical procedures, drugs, or injections

Businesses could not refuse service, products, venue entry, or rides because a person has or has not had a medical intervention, and ticket issuers could not deny event access for that reason. A business means anyone doing an activity for gain or livelihood in Arizona, profit or not-for-profit. A medical intervention means a medical procedure, treatment, device, drug, injection, medication, or other medical action meant to prevent or cure disease or change health. Businesses also could not require a medical intervention for anyone to enter their building or premises. Ticket issuers include venue operators, event sponsors and promoters, sports teams and leagues, theater companies, and their agents.

Businesses and governments could not require a medical intervention as a term of employment, or pay workers differently based on whether they had one. This applies to businesses and to state, county, and local governments as employers. A business may require one only for travel to a foreign place, or entry to a foreign business or facility, where it is the only way in. Such a requirement must be in a written employment contract or in written notice at least 14 days before the employee must comply. The paragraph on required employment interventions says it does not apply to businesses that receive Medicare or Medicaid funding. Notice for foreign travel requirements must come at least 14 days before the employee must receive the intervention.

Schools could not require a medical intervention for anyone to attend, enter a campus or building, or work there. School means any public, private, or parochial program from preschool through grade 12, career and vocational programs, and colleges. Tribal colleges are not included. The rule is subject to the parents' bill of rights in section 1-602. Exceptions apply to a student who is barred from school under section 15-873. Exceptions also apply to someone with acute conjunctivitis, lice, scabies, or strep A with sores or sore throat, when the risk of spreading it is not yet reduced under state health department rules.

State, county, and local governments and officials could not require anyone to receive a medical intervention. This covers requiring one as a condition of any government benefit, service, license or permit, entering a building, using transportation, or employment.

The attorney general or a county prosecutor could enforce the rules and seek court orders, and would be awarded attorney fees and costs if a violation is found. Protective equipment and clothing that employers require under traditional and accepted industry standards or federal law is not covered by the ban. The protective equipment exception does not include any vaccine, mask requirement, or other medical intervention introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
