AN ACT CREATING A STATE CAUSE OF ACTION FOR INJURIES RECEIVED OR ILLNESS CAUSED BY VACCINATIONS OR MEDICINAL TREATMENT REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT.
This bill (SB 214) would allow employees to sue their employers in court if they suffer injuries or illness from a vaccination or medicinal treatment required as a condition of employment. It directly affects employees who experience harm from mandatory workplace health programs and employers who implement such programs. The key provision permits lawsuits for actual damages (like medical costs) and punitive damages if an employer required the treatment without confirming its safety using publicly available medical evidence. The bill creates a new legal right for employees without changing existing vaccine safety standards.
