HB 103 Reengrossed 2021 Regular Session McCormick
Abstract: Prohibits civil liability for refusal to mandate a COVID-19 vaccination and protects
business permits and professional licenses from refusal for failure to refuse to mandate a
COVID-19 vaccination.
Proposed law provides that no natural or juridical person shall be liable for any civil damages and
no cause of action may be maintained against a natural or juridical person who in the course of,
through the performance of, or by a provision of their business operations, refuses to mandate a
COVID-19 vaccination for any employee or customer.
Proposed law provides that the state, a state agency, or political subdivision thereof, shall not refuse
to permit, renew, or withhold a business license or professional license solely on the basis of the
business refusing to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations.
