‘This is great news for Montanans. No one should be subject to discrimination because of their vaccination status,’ a state official told The Epoch Times.

A U.S. appeals court on Oct. 9 removed the injunction blocking a Montana law that prohibits discrimination based on vaccination status.

Montana House Bill 702, enacted in 2021, states that it is illegal for a person or government entity to deny a person services based on their vaccination status. It also bars employers from requiring vaccination as a condition of employment.
