Require a private business to obtain documentation... 2. A private business located in this state may not require a patron or customer to provide any documentation certifying vaccination or post-transmission recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or services from the business. This subsection does not apply to a health care provider including a long-term care provider.... 5. This section is not applicable during a public health disaster or emergency declared in accordance with chapter 37-17.1. 6. This section is limited in application to a vaccination authorized by the federal food and drug administration pursuant to an emergency use authorization.

Enforcement

Statutory prohibition

Notes

The one State instrument regulating business conduct in the third quarter of 2021: it forbade the vaccination-proof entry model that venues, restaurants and employers elsewhere adopted. The State Board of Higher Education and the University System were carved out of subsection 1 to the extent they adopted their own documentation policies.

Retrieval note

Signed by the Governor May 7, 2021; effective May 10, 2021 on filing with the Secretary of State as an emergency measure; the file name carries the effective date.
