Gov. Wolf Vetoes SB 618 (July 1, 2021)

On Thursday, July 1, 2021, Governor Wolf vetoed SB 618, which would have blocked the state, as well as any county, municipality, school district, colleges and universities, from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination in order to enter buildings, attend classes in person, or undertake any activity. State and local governmental entities would have been similarly restricted, and governments would not have been allowed to include COVID-19 vaccine status on ID cards.

The bill would also have prohibited the PA health secretary from ordering closures or directing people who have not been exposed to a contagion to physically distance, wear a mask, quarantine, or restrict their travel.
