SB1 removes the automatic repealer on the prohibition on state and local governments from requiring proof of COVID vaccination for government services.
The Georgia State House of Representatives passed SB1 on March 23, 2023 by a vote of 99 to 69. 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 receive a vaccination or partake in any medical procedure 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.
