RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
HB 103 2021 Regular Session McCormick
Proposed law would have provided that no natural or juridical person would be liable for any
civil damages and no cause of action would 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 refused to mandate a COVID-19 vaccination for any employee or customer.
Proposed law would have prohibited the state, a state agency, or political subdivision thereof
from refusing to permit, renew, or withhold a business license or professional license solely
on the basis of the business refusing to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations.
(Proposed to add R.S. 9:2800.28)
VETO MESSAGE:
"This bill is one of three bills passed by the legislature involving COVID-19 vaccines. I am
vetoing this bill for many of the same reasons that I vetoed House Bill 498. These bills
contribute to the false narrative that the COVID-19 vaccines are anything other than safe and
incredibly effective. House Bill 103 is not necessary and does nothing to protect the health
and safety of the public."
