Chamber Passed·5/12/26

Louisiana HB926 prohibits the use of vaccine status to determine admission to public buildings.

Louisiana HB926, known as the Louisiana Medical Freedom Act, prohibits business entities, ticket issuers, and government entities from requiring medical interventions as a condition of employment, access to services, or entry to public buildings. The law aims to protect individuals' rights to make autonomous medical decisions without discrimination or exclusion. Violations may be prosecuted by the attorney general or local prosecutors, with potential awards of attorney's fees and court costs.
