    Passed out of health provider services committee, session ended before it was brought to a floor for vote, DIED 12-31-24

    HB 319: “Conscientious, Right to Refuse”

    HB 319 Conscientious Right to Refuse Act has PASSED out of House Health Provider Services Committee! THANK YOU to Chairman DJ Swearingen for calling this important vote for the PEOPLE!

    HB 319 (Conscientious, Right to Refuse.- Sponsors: Gross & Wiggam) is a bill that guarantees the right of any Ohioan, 18 and older to decline any vaccine, pharmaceutical, drug, or biologic, that they have a conscientious or religious objection to without suffering discrimination, retribution, financial penalty, loss of employment, or loss of access to public services. It has a provision to allow for litigation and recoup of legal costs, if discrimination occurs. (Note: this bill does not include children because daycares and K-12 schools already have conscientious, religious and medical exemptions available. See our K-12 exemption section for details.)
