A bill to block private businesses from requiring proof of vaccination returns after dying on the final day of the legislative session last year.
[Get the latest Utah political news in the new Daily Buzz email newsletter. Brooks’ bill again seeks to bar private businesses from requiring proof of vaccination for customers and employees. Also like last year, the proposal also would block most government entities from requiring vaccinations. There are some exceptions for healthcare facilities and higher education in the state that could lose federal funding for dropping vaccine requirements.
The furor over the COVID vaccine has mostly burned itself out, but the St. George Republican insists his proposal will prevent any government overreach in the future. “Should governments be telling businesses what to do? This is about the un-American idea of requiring people to show their papers to go to a public place. That’s something we have never done in this country, and we need to make it a point that we never cross that line,” Brooks said.
