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 are not the legitimate object of government, nor should be under federal, state, or local jurisdiction in the United States. Forcing an individual to produce their vaccination status would be a violation of their fundamental rights protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
