Republican State Senators to Sponsor Legislation to Ban Vaccine Passports (May 25, 2021)

Republican state Senators Kristin Phillips-Hill of York County, Michele Brooks of Mercer County, and Judy Ward of Blair County are sponsoring legislation which would prohibit the requirement of vaccine passports by banning the state, county, local municipality, or school district from requiring a proof of the COVID-19 vaccine to enter a facility within its territory. The bill does not affect businesses.

Although Governor Tom Wolf has stated that he has no plans to require proof of vaccination, Phillips-Hill says that her legislation would make sure that doesn’t change.
