I know most people here don't live in The Great State™ but there's a pretty comprehensive set of initiatives moving through our legislature aimed at protecting vaccine hold-outs.

Right now there at are at least six bills targeting this problem from different angles. At least one forbids the state (not private entities) from requiring vaccination as a condition of employment, others prohibit the government from coercing citizens by any means to get vaccinated. A couple provide unemployment benefits to those whose jobs were lost because of their vaccine status. There's one preventing school districts from taking adverse actions against students who refused vaccinations. And a couple attempt to prohibit private entities from discriminating on vaccine status, one of which would institute a civil cause of action against any discriminatory actor.

I don't know what will pass and what won't. The legislators I've talked to were broadly supportive of these initiatives, and the bills have diverse sponsorship which bodes well. I'm gonna keep track of the bills as they move along, so we'll see what happens. I'm hoping we join Texas and Florida as the holy trinity of based states.

Edit: Now that I look, some of these bills got introduced as early as last November. Nice to see some folks were ahead of the game.

Second Edit: A couple of these are stuck in committee, one is dead, some encouraging movement on others. I'm pretty confident we will see several of these pass.

Third Edit: I may start tracking legislation that pertains to resisting Biden's recent "ghost gun" bans and other gun control executive orders. EOs are overridden by legislation, and several states are already working on new laws to harden their 2nd amendment rights. Will have to check on this in the future.
