Relating to vaccination against COVID-19; declaring an emergency.
SB 883 prohibits Oregon state agencies from enforcing any rules requiring people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. It directly affects state agencies (like health departments or education bodies) and anyone subject to their rules. The bill’s key provision bans such vaccination mandates, and it declares an emergency to take effect immediately upon passage. This is a procedural measure focused solely on removing existing state-level vaccine requirements, with no new programs or funding.
