Bill > HB05340

This bill seeks to prohibit the state government and its employees from mandating COVID-19 vaccinations. The legislation is a direct response to vaccination requirements implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to prevent state authorities from compelling individuals to receive the vaccine. By amending the general statutes, the bill would establish a legal barrier against any state-level vaccine mandate, ensuring that individuals cannot be forced to get a COVID-19 vaccination by state government officials or employees. The bill appears to be motivated by concerns about personal medical freedom and individual choice regarding vaccination, reflecting ongoing debates about the balance between public health measures and personal autonomy during the pandemic.
