Texans, call your representative and tell them to support HB 93 introduced yesterday 9/21 in the legislative session 3 to ban Vaccine mandates for private employers in the state of Texas. Also tell them to strengthen the bill text to include a provision to deny the businesses permits for operating business in TX.

Spread the word.
Edit: Also reach out to Abbott's office since he heavily controls what is put on the agenda.

It needs a better penalty for the employer. It only withholds contracts for state funds if violated. What about companies that don’t receive state funds?
This bill specifically only covers COVID-19, so it's only going to be useful for a limited period of time, until they push the next health scare on us.
They need to remove the COVID-19 language and amend it to include ALL vaccines. NO MANDATES FOR ANY VACCINE EVER AGAIN. PERIOD.
The fucks who are doing this to us have been doing it for years and they'll do it again. Did we forget history already?

I’m not happy with this.
There needs to be extremely stiff penalties
Biden suggested a $14,000.00 fine
Fine them $42,000.00 and when they ask why it’s so much - “It’s the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.”
I promise that if we differentiate this state with others we will reap a whirlwind - the kind that follows freedom everywhere
Agree completely. That is why i suggested denying them a TX business permit (e.g. restaurant denied liquor license).
That was actually how Paxton shut down the restaurants that were trying to do vaccine passports in Austin despite it being illegal. Those restaurants reversed their position immediately.
Regardless, this is a start and its certainly better than nothing. We need to get this or something similar passed which I why I'm trying to get the word out.
To anyone reading this, contact your representative and/or Abbott (even if he is a RINO he's still a RINO that wants to be reelected).
I don't really understand why anyone at this point still thinks voting can or will change anything.
Pretty much every "election" of any kind since the 2020 pres election has been rigged the same way as the 2020 pres election.
I think its pretty safe to say that they know we know and they really don't care that we know. They are going to do it either way.
Ummm, this isn't about voting... It's about getting legislature on the table to pass which has a reasonable chance of going through given the current legislature composition.
Include the bs mandate for federal contractors, please.
I think this covers that in the same way HB 702 in Montana does. It’s because they simply ban any company from mandating an employee, public or private.

Ok, just read it. I agree the penalty should be stiffer. I’d suggest a $20,000 fine per offense (the Biden mandate is $14,000). Looks like this bill covers ALL businesses, including federal contractors, which is very important to me.
When is the vote for this? A lot of mandates going into effect soon…
It hasn't been put to the floor. Which is why we need people to contact their representative and/or Abbott (he may be a RINO but he's a RINO scared of not getting elected) to push this forward.
The current legislative special session just started, so its not too late.
Done. Thanks.
Thank you for posting up this info.
Thank u !!💪🏼
Email sent, thank you so much.
Thank you!!
Thanks, sent a letter
I thought Texas, along with Florida and Montana already banned the Vax mandate? Can someone clarify?
only for governments or governmental entities.
Hopefully they pass it and I also hope it includes government contractors. Many companies on the Fortune 500 list are government contractors. Going to read the bill now.
Montana is the only state to pass a law banning all mandates. Others have weaker executive orders.
Ah damn. I just got cert'd as a Rad Tech and I was looking to move.. I swore I read Texas was safe... fuck
Montana is currently the “safest,” but maybe this will pass quickly?
I thought the vote was supposed to be on the 20th. I wrote them like two weeks ago about this. Wonder why the delay
First, HB11, then HB39, now HB93, can Texas just pass one already!? The employees need protection!!!!!
No. That's too much. Stupid business owners should still be able to run their businesses into the ground with their own stupid mistakes. Let the free market decide their fate.
It's not too much anymore. Reddit is over there.
Your response to my comment is vague.
Being it seems to be in opposition to what I posted, it seems you support selectively shutting down businesses based on their political ideologies? It's clear why you know where reddit is.
You're right - once you start letting government close a business for a "good" reason, you'll see them close them for bad reasons. Saying "California is bad, so Texas can be bad too!" is not a great idea for Texas.
Yup. It's a very dangerous legislative precedent no state should make as far as I am concerned, regardless of how much I may agree with the virtue behind it.
