Rep. Walt Brooks (R)

HB 131 (Ban on "Vaccine Passports" for Private Businesses)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill would prohibit private employers from requiring a vaccine as a condition of employment or patronage.

Libertas Institute opposes this bill. While we think it is ridiculous for business owners to impose such a mandate, essential property rights means they should have the right to discriminate this way. Those who object should use persuasion and the market to fight back, rather than weaponizing the state against business owners.
