HB22-1100 defeated in committee

4/7/2022

 
We are pleased to announce that  HB 22-1100 "Prohibit Discrimination Against COVID-19 Status"  was defeated yesterday in the House Health and Insurance Committee by a vote of 7-4. The bill would have provided several protections for unvaccinated individuals. It would have prohibited adverse action by an individual, a government agency, an employer, or a health insurer, due to unvaccinated status and allowed for injunctive relief, punitive damages, and attorney fees for the worker. We are grateful to our coalition partners who worked hard to get expert witness testimony from many sectors to discuss why this bill would be detrimental to public health. CIA board member Aimee and CIA members Lindsay and Emily also gave awesome testimony. Thank you to Representatives Lontine, Mullica, Ortiz, Titone, Kennedy, Sirota and McCormick for voting no on HB 22-1100 and standing for science!
