To prohibit medical facilities or agencies that provide emergency medical treatment from making medical decisions based on social stigma or stereotypes regarding age, color, criminal history, disability, ethnicity, familial status, gender identity, height, homelessness, immigration status, incarceration status, marital status, mental illness, national origin, poverty, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, substance use disorder, use of government resources, veteran status, or weight.
