SB 29 by Birdwell: Prohibition on Government COVID-19 Mandates

PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Support
Senate Journal Page: 694

SB 29 amends current law to prohibit a governmental entity to mandate a face-covering, the closure of a private business or school, or a person to be vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine. Though TFR supports SB 29 as written, TFR strongly suggests it be amended to include a prohibition on the mandate of any vaccine.
