OPPOSE CALIFORNIA’S
Employee Vaccine Passport Bill
A.B. 1102
Assemblymember Evan Low (D) is seeking to pass A.B. 1102, a California bill that will provide employers the option to make proof of COVID-19 vaccination a requirement to be hired or to continue employment. The bill further provides that employers may require booster shots as recommended by the CDC.
Employees could be issued a physical or an electronic vaccine passport showing the “employee’s or applicant’s name, date of birth, vaccine dates, and vaccine type.”
A.B. 1102 was introduced as a “telephone medical advice services” bill. Using a procedure called “gut and amend,”A.B. 1102 is in the process of being stripped of its original language and transformed into the employee COVID-19 passport bill. Additional amendments are expected.
A.B. 1102 would go into effect immediately if passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Newsom.
