What’s in it

AI summary Employers cannot force workers to have a microchip or any other device implanted in their bodies. Companies are also banned from offering special perks or rewards to employees who choose to get an implant unless those same perks are given to everyone. Employees can still choose to get an implant on their own, as long as their boss isn't requiring it or offering extra benefits for doing so.1

Read the official explanation

This bill prohibits an employer from requiring that an employee have a microchip or other device implanted or inserted in the employee’s body. The bill also prohibits an employer from providing any incentive or privilege to an employee for agreeing to have a microchip or other device implanted or inserted in the employee’s body that is not equally available to employees who do not so agree. The bill provides that an employee may voluntarily agree to have a microchip or other device implanted or inserted in the employee’s body if not required or offered an incentive or privilege to do so by an employer.
