of COVID-19 immunity or to independently verify the information

contained in an immunity passport.

entity's obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, article

fifteen of the executive law, the civil rights law, or any other

federal, state, or local anti-discrimination law.

of a health care provider, as defined in section eighteen of this

of this chapter, a health practitioner as defined in section twenty-one

hundred sixty-four of this chapter, a facility, as defined in section
