ACTION ALERT: Please Ask the HGO and Economic Matters Committees to SUPPORT HB1376 Which Would Protect Employees from Covid-19 Vaccine Mandates
TEXT OF HB1376
Labor and Employment – COVID-19 Vaccinations – Exemption Process (No Jabs for Jobs)
Requiring an employer to develop a process to allow an employee to obtain an exemption from a COVID-19 vaccination requirement; prohibiting an employer from terminating or forcing an employee to resign under certain circumstances; providing that certain employees have a cause of action against an employer and may seek certain relief and damages; etc.
why icm SUPPORTS HB1376
- There is no scientific justification for mandating Covid-19 vaccines in any workplace. No Covid-19 vaccine currently available effectively prevents infection or transmission; therefore there is no public health justification for mandating Covid-19 vaccination
- There is increasing scientific evidence that prior infection and recovery from Covid-19 confers robust, lasting protection against both infection and disease which is more effective than vaccine protection against disease
- There is ample evidence of risks associated with Covid-19 vaccines, as acknowledged by the CDC, to warrant accommodating patrons with the option to test for Covid-19
