Bill > SB00214

This bill proposes to amend an existing law to allow employees to sue their employers in Superior Court for damages if they are required to receive vaccinations or medical treatments as a condition of employment. Specifically, employees can seek actual damages for injuries or illnesses directly caused by such mandatory vaccination or treatment programs. Additionally, employees can pursue punitive damages if the employer knowingly required the vaccination or treatment without first confirming its safety through publicly available medical testing and documentation. The bill creates a new legal pathway for workers who believe they have been harmed by employer-mandated medical interventions, giving them the ability to seek financial compensation for potential negative health consequences. By establishing this cause of action, the bill aims to provide employees with legal recourse and protection against what they might perceive as unsafe workplace health requirements, while also potentially creating a deterrent for employers who might mandate medical treatments without thorough safety verification.
