Operative words
Sec. 2. NEW SECTION. 27B.2 Proof of vaccination — denial of state grants or contracts. 1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, a business or governmental entity shall not require a customer, patron, client, patient, or other person who is invited onto the premises of the business or governmental entity to furnish proof of having received a vaccination for COVID-19, as defined in section 686D.2, prior to entering onto the premises of the business or governmental entity. This section does not prohibit a business or governmental entity from implementing a COVID-19 screening protocol that does not require proof of vaccination for COVID-19. 2. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, grants or contracts funded by state revenue shall not be awarded to or renewed with respect to a business or governmental entity that violates subsection 1 on or after the effective date of this Act. 3.... a. 'Business' means a retailer required to obtain a sales tax permit pursuant to chapter 423, a nonprofit or not-for-profit organization, or an establishment which is open to the public at large or where entrance is limited by a cover charge or membership requirement, but does not include a health care facility as defined in section 686D.2.... Sec. 3. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Act, being deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.
Enforcement
Loss of eligibility for State-funded grants and contracts (§ 27B.2(2))
Notes
An order 'limiting commerce' in the opposite direction from the vaccination-proof orders of other jurisdictions: Iowa venues, restaurants and event hosts were forbidden to condition entry on vaccination throughout Q3 2021, while health care facilities were excepted.
