Governor Abbott Signs COVID Vaccine Freedom Bill At Governor's Mansion
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
"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. 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."
