Texas’ Session ended without the Texas Legislature codifying any law related to Executive Order GA-40, which prohibits entities from compelling COVID-19 vaccinations. Will not reconvene until January 2023 meaning Executive Order is unlikely to become state law.
The official reason for Tuesday night’s vote by the Jan. 6 committee was to start the uncertain process of holding Steve Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress.
Governor Greg Abbott Monday this week issued an executive order stating that no entity in Texas can compel receipt of a COVID-19 vaccination by any individual, including an employee or consumer, who objects to such vaccination for any reason of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19.
