MAHA Approved

Summary

This bill, titled the "Arizona Medical Freedom Act," prohibits businesses, schools, and government entities in Arizona from requiring individuals to receive or use a "medical intervention," which is defined as any medical procedure, treatment, device, drug, injection, medication, or action taken to diagnose, prevent, or cure a disease or alter a person's health or biological function. Specifically, businesses cannot deny services, admission, or transportation based on a person's medical intervention status, nor can they mandate them for employment unless it's for travel to a foreign country that requires it as the sole means of entry, with specific notice requirements.
