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.

Did anything happen? I've seen nothing so far.
Note 8/31 already happened there given the time zone/day difference compared to the USA.
HB 39 is a bill that actually bans employee vaccine mandates (unlike Abbott's half ass order that only bans it for state employees). Call your rep to push them to support this or you will do everything to primary their ass.
