A BILL FOR
HB3682 LRB102 11453 JLS 16787 b
AN ACT concerning employment.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
COVID-19 Workplace Vaccination Program Limitation Act.
Section 5. Purpose. It is the purpose of this Act to allow
individuals to have the autonomy to make the decision of
whether or not to receive a vaccination that was approved by
the United States Food and Drug Administration to be used
under emergency use authorization for treatment of COVID-19.
The fact that the vaccines made available amid the global
pandemic have been granted emergency use authorization means
that both regulatory bodies and industry experts have not been
allotted sufficient time to study either the short-term and
long-term effects that may arise from the administration of
vaccinations authorized for emergency use. Therefore, the
State is compelled to prohibit employers from requiring that
employees receive a vaccine that has been approved under
emergency use authorization as a condition of employment.
Section 10. Prohibition. It is unlawful for an employer in
the State of Illinois to create, implement, or otherwise
enforce a workplace vaccination program that requires an

Administration, under the Administration's power outlined in
Section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, for
protection against COVID-19.
Section 95. Repeal. This Act is repealed on January 1,
2023.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
