Prohibits a person or entity from requiring, coercing, or compelling any other individual to undergo the subcutaneous implant of an identification device. Prohibits an employer from inquiring during an interview if a prospective employee will consent to having a subcutaneous identification device implanted in his or her body. Requires an employer to provide reasonable accommodations for an employee who does not consent to having a device implanted in his or her body. Requires an employer to remove the device from the employee's body within 30 days of separation from employment if the employee so requests.
