          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;No Vaccine Mandates Act of 2023&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill creates a federal statutory framework to govern restrictions and requirements related to COVID-19 vaccinations.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;First, the bill temporarily prohibits (1) requiring an individual to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, or (2) administering a COVID-19 vaccine to a minor or other individual who lacks the capacity to consent without the consent of a parent or guardian. A violation is subject to criminal penalties.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Second, the bill requires any person who administers a COVID-19 vaccine to provide a potential recipient with certain information about the risks associated with the vaccine so the potential recipient can make an informed decision. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Third, the bill generally prohibits the public disclosure of an individual's&amp;nbsp;COVID-19&amp;nbsp;vaccination status without express, written consent. A violation is subject to criminal and civil penalties.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill does not preempt state or local laws that provide greater privacy protection than these provisions. &lt;/p&gt;</text>
