Bill > HB06174

This bill proposes to create a legal pathway for students in Connecticut to sue the state for damages if they suffer injuries or illnesses from vaccinations or medical treatments that were mandated as a condition of school admission. Specifically, students would be able to file a lawsuit in the Superior Court to seek two types of damages: actual damages for injuries or illnesses directly caused by the required vaccination or medical treatment, and punitive damages if the state mandated the treatment without first confirming its safety through publicly available medical testing and documentation. The bill aims to provide a legal mechanism for students who believe they have been harmed by state-mandated medical interventions, giving them the ability to seek financial compensation for potential negative health consequences. By allowing both compensatory and punitive damages, the bill creates a potentially significant legal remedy for students who can demonstrate that a required medical treatment has caused them harm.
