Texas Bans "Vaccine Mandates" by All Private Sector Employers

👉🏻 Governor Greg Abbott today signed a law banning COVID-19
vaccine mandates by private employers passed during Special
Session #3 of the 88th Legislature at the Governor’s Mansion
in Austin. This new law protects the personal healthcare
choices and livelihoods of Texans by prohibiting private
employers from requiring employees or contractors receive a
COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of employment.

"Senate Bill 7 prohibits private employers from requiring
employees to get a COVID vaccination—and employers that
violate this law are subject to a $50,000 fine as well as a
lawsuit and injunctive relief from the Texas Attorney
General," said Governor Abbott. "This law adds to the law
that I already signed that prohibits state and local
governments from imposing COVID mandates. It's long past
time to put COVID behind us and restore individual freedom
to all Texans. I thank Senator Middleton, Representative
Leach, and all other members of the Texas Legislature who
stood with this issue every step of the way."

Earlier this year, Governor Abbott signed a similar law
prohibiting any government in Texas from imposing COVID-19
vaccine mandates.

The Governor was joined at the bill signing ceremony by
Senators Bob Hall and Mayes Middleton; Representatives Brad
Buckley, Briscoe Cain, Cody Harris, Brian Harrison, Cole
Hefner, Jeff Leach, Nate Schatzline, Mike Schofield, Steve
Toth, and Cody Vasut; and other healthcare freedom
advocates.

Senate Bill 7 (Middleton/Leach) prohibits private employers
from requiring employees and contractors receive a COVID-19
vaccination as a condition of employment. The bill allows
the Texas Workforce Commission to investigate complaints by
employees, contractors, or prospective employees or
contractors alleging their employer or perspective employer
has taken adverse action against them for not receiving a
COVID-19 vaccine.
