Take Action to Help Stop them Today!
Through our discussions with legislative offices, legislator press interviews and leaks, A Voice for Choice Advocacy is currently aware of five BAD vaccine related bills being considered for the 2022 legislative session:
-
COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for all Private and Public Employees (codifying the proposed Federal OSHA regulations), including protections for employers who require vaccination of employees - Potential language: https://avoiceforchoiceadvocacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/AB455-Draft-RN-2118069-Completed-082621.pdf
-
COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Patrons to Enter Certain Establishments(similar to what is currently ordered in San Francisco and Los Angeles) - Potential language: https://avoiceforchoiceadvocacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/AB1102-Draft-RN-2118081-Completed-090221.pdf
-
COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate to Attend In-Person K - 12 Public or Private School without a personal belief exemption, and removing the personal belief exemption from future CDPH added vaccines, thereby allowing CDPH to add any vaccine to the K-12 school requirements without legislative action, in the future.
-
HPV and Meningitis Vaccine Mandate to Attend In-Person Public or Private High School without a personal belief exemption.
-
Allow 12+ year old Minors to Consent to Receive Vaccines without Parental Consent - Potential language similar to SF order: https://www.sfdph.org/dph/alerts/files/Order-C19-19-Vaccination-Minors.pdf
A Voice for Choice Advocacy has four GOOD bills which we are trying get authored:
-
Religious/Conscience Belief Exemption Bill - Adds a religious/conscience belief exemption for all vaccines required to attend in-person K - 12 public or private school
-
Immunity Bill – Replaces current school vaccine reporting with immunity (natural exposure and vaccination) reporting, including the ability to submit titer testing in lieu of vaccination, without a medical exemption.
-
Vaccine Medical Exemption Appeal Documentation Bill - Amends the CA Health & Safety code to clarify the allowable documentation to defend a medical exemption that does not meet applicable CDC, ACIP, or AAP criteria for appropriate medical exemptions, mirroring the § 1370.6 KNOX-KEENE ACT 318
-
Non Toxic School Cleaning Product Act Bill - Bans the use of quaternary ammonium compounds (“quats”) and sodium hypochlorite (“bleach”) from all schools and child care facilities in California.
