Summary of HD 2912: An Act Establishing Medical Civil Rights

Purpose and Intent

The proposed HD 2912 seeks to establish a set of medical civil rights that would protect individuals from discrimination in healthcare settings based on their personal medical decisions or health conditions. The bill aims to ensure equal access to medical care and services regardless of an individual's vaccination status, diagnosed illness, or other private health information.

Key Provisions

  • Prohibits healthcare providers, insurers, and facilities from denying, limiting, or discriminating against patients based on their vaccination history or medical diagnoses
  • Requires medical professionals to provide care to all patients regardless of personal medical decisions, with limited exceptions for specific circumstances or procedures
  • Establishes fines and penalties for violations, including loss of licensure for healthcare providers and organizations
  • Grants individuals the right to take legal action against entities that discriminate against them in a medical setting
  • Directs the state's human rights commission to investigate complaints of medical discrimination and enforce the new protections

Affected Parties

The bill would impact a wide range of stakeholders in the healthcare system, including:
- Patients seeking medical care and services
- Healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses, and hospitals
- Health insurance companies and plans
- Pharmacies, clinics, and other medical facilities

Timeline and Procedure

HD 2912 was introduced in the state legislature on November 29, 2025 and has been referred to the Joint Committee on Public Health for initial consideration. If approved by the committee, the bill would then proceed to a full vote in both the House and Senate. The governor would have the opportunity to sign the bill into law or veto it. The new medical civil rights protections would take effect 90 days after being enacted.
