For 
women 
who 
are 
pregnant 
or 
breastfeeding, the CDC has indicated that ‘‘the po-
tential risks of COVID–19 vaccines to the pregnant 
person and the fetus are unknown because these 
vaccines have not been studied in pregnant people’’. 
Accordingly, it is highly likely that the implementa-
tion and use of vaccine passports, refusal to provide 
services to unvaccinated persons, and decision by 
employers to impose a vaccine mandate and to take 
adverse employment actions against unvaccinated 
employees, are likely to be unfair and discrimina-
tory, disparately impacting women because of their 
sex. 
(55) Given that several COVID–19 vaccines are 
not recommended for children under the age of 12, 
the implementation and widespread utilization of 
vaccine passports could lead to the refusal to provide 
services to unvaccinated persons, such as the denial 
of services to families with small children, meaning 
certain vaccine-related policies could lead to age or 
familial-status-related discrimination. 
(56) The denial of public services and public ac-
commodations, as well as adverse employment ac-
tions, based on COVID–19 vaccination status, lack 
of or refusal to present a vaccine passport, refusal

(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Over 15 million Italians have immigrated to

1798 (Chapter 66, Sec. 1; 1 Stat. 577; 50 U.S.C. 
21; commonly known as the Alien Enemies Act). 
(4) Additional authority for the treatment of 
Italian Americans during World War II was based 
on Executive Order 9066 (7 Fed. Reg. 1407) and 
Executive Order 9102 (7 Fed. Reg. 2165). 
(5) These orders required Italian-born citizens 
and their families to carry identification cards, face 
travel restrictions, and obey curfews. 
(6) These orders authorized the seizure of per-
sonal property. 
(7) 10,000 Italian Americans living on the West 
Coast were forced to leave their homes and were 
prohibited from entering coastal zones during World 
War II. 
(8) Thousands of Italian-American immigrants 
were arrested and hundreds were interned in mili-
tary camps during World War II. 
(9) The treatment of Italian Americans during 
World War II needs to be acknowledged in order to 
remember those whose lives were unjustly disrupted 
and whose freedoms were violated. 
(10) Acknowledging and apologizing for the 
treatment of Italian Americans during World War II 
would help repair the Italian-American community
