Bill to prohibit taking certain actions against an individual because the individual refuses to be vaccinated against a disease.
While HB 388 would make a good effort at reducing vaccine choice discrimination in Ohio, OhioAMF believes that vaccine choice bills should protect all Ohioans in all circumstances, as such, we support HB248. We are waiting to see how this bill evolves before making further determinations regarding our support or opposition to the bill.
Bill to prohibit state mask mandates during the current state of emergency.
Our concern is that this bill is that it doesn’t protect our mask choice from county, township, city, or other local jurisdictions, or from private sector requirements by employers, businesses, etc. Additionally, per the bill, if made law, it would only apply to the current state of emergency, and would not apply to future emergency orders.
Bill address COVID-19 vaccine requirements for employees and students; to extend certain timelines for qualified civil immunity and expand immunity to include hearing aid dealers and hearing aid fitters; to authorize emergency medical technicians to administer COVID-19 tests; to expressly cover COVID-19 vaccine injuries under the workers’ compensation system.
OhioAMF believes that vaccine choice bills should protect all Ohioans in all circumstances, as such, we support HB248 and believe that any other legislation that claims to have the same or similar goals only serve to distract or undermine HB248.
