## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

Governments, employers, and public places cannot deny goods, services, licenses, jobs, or health care. An employer may suggest vaccination, but a suggestion alone is not discrimination. Immunity passport means any…
- No mandates for EUA or trial shots: benefit, medium. No one can require you to get a vaccine allowed only under emergency use. No one can require a vaccine that is still in safety trials. This applies to governments, employers, and other entities in Montana.
- School and day-care vaccine rules stay: cost, medium. School and day-care vaccine rules still apply in Montana. The non-discrimination rule does not change those state laws. Families must meet school and day-care vaccine requirements.
