SB345 prohibits state and local governments from mandating vaccine passports, meaning this essentially bans COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
The Georgia State Senate passed SB345 on April 4, 2022 by a vote of 34 to 20. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because an individual’s personal health care decisions should not be the object of government, nor be under its federal, state, or local jurisdictions in the United States. Forcing an individual to produce their vaccination status would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
