Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, a Democrat, has now updated a decades old law to allow for employees who refuse the coronavirus vaccine to be punished.
As Fox News reports:
Illinois’ Democratic governor on Monday updated a preexisting state law from the 1970s to allow penalties for workers who don’t abide by COVID-19-related mandates on vaccines, masks and testing.
“Masks, vaccines, and testing requirements are life-saving measures that keep our workplaces and communities safe,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said in a statement Monday. “Keeping workplaces safe is a high priority, and I applaud the General Assembly for ensuring that the Health Care Right of Conscience Act is no longer wrongly used against institutions who are putting safety and science first.”
Enacted in 1978, the Health Care Right of Conscience Act was originally intended to allow medical professionals to refuse to receive or participate in health care services contrary to their personal beliefs, including religious or moral objections to specific services, such as abortion.
Democratic Attorney General Kwame Raoul had asked Pritzker to clarify that the legislation does not do anything to restrict workplaces’ measures intended to prevent the spread of deadly, communicable diseases like COVID-19. In signing SB 1169 into law, the governor said the “amendment will ensure the long tradition of vaccine requirements by employers can continue with regard to the COVID-19 vaccine.”
More votes are required according to the Illinois constitution in order for the amendment to take effect, meaning a floor vote will likely take place after the new year.
Go for it! Man I couldn’t beg Democrats to destroy themselves any more than this, it is awesome. The funniest part is they think they are doing something good in this process as they are destroying themselves, so it is a win/win, the Dems are happy they are overreaching into their constituents lives and the Republicans are happy that they are destroying themselves. It gets real sad when the children/Democrats finally realize that they destroyed themselves and ask for another chance. The sad part is the parents/Republicans always forgive them and let them have another chance to destroy the country.
You missed the Demoralcrup playbook 101, mess up everything to the enth degree, then blame it on the repubs for lack of funding, the predecessors etc.. If all else fails it’s truly racist..
He will be met with strong force! The people are sick and tired of these ungofly tyrants coming at them! They will fight back and he will be sorry! He will be removed soon and that’s Gid’s promise!
Gods’s promise sorry typo
This is so wrong!!! There should never be a mandate for a vaccine…
It’s not even a vaccine!
It does nothing to stop you from getting or spreading COVID. On top of that the side affects of the jab are more deadly than the disease!
Could be a good thing…..killing and causing infertility in retarded morons who are stupid enough to get it.
Sounds about right, the dumb asses are killing their base. Must explain why the influx of morons and scumbags from around the world and why they don’t have to get the jab.
this man needs to be held under water in lake michigan for about 30 minutes to see if he changes his mind ( which I doubt if he has one )
Piece of shiittt K0mmie libT ard
Let him keep up his approaches to control the people of Illinois and more and more people will continue to leave this state. Why people don’t vote this crook out of office is beyond me. If the people would stand together against this man this garbage would stop.
As I used to tell my kids …. “the masses are asses”
While it has contributed to the death of people, which is always bad, it is not that deadly! The vaccine itself may prove to be more deadly than the virus. The jab only protects against the original strain, which is basically gone, but does nothing or little to protect against the variants. That accounts for the “breakthrough” cases, which is vaccine failure. Further, they still aren’t considering natural immunity.
I don’t know how this is going to be stopped. You have courts deciding businesses can mandate this “vaccine” which will only cause more of an unemployee shortage. I can only see the way out is civil war, civil disobedience, or breaking up the country based on these stupid mandates. We are living under communist rule and tyranny.
What else would one expect from a Prick-ster? Go join the Mob, Prick! Oh that’s right, as Governor of Swillinois, you probably are a Mob kingpin already, just like your lord and master Sadsack Osama.
Just another reason to leave Illinois as if I need one.
This is not a communist country. Mandates are not laws. I think the democrats employers enjoy destroying themselves so let them continue.
LISTEN UP….NOT Even GOD Forces HIS WILL on PEOPLE. YOU Choose Between G OOD and EVIL….RIGHT and WRONG. GOD is STILL Separating the GOOD APPLES from the BAD ONES. THERE is a SHIFTING Going On….ON GOD’S PLANET EARTH. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
“ Health Care Right of Conscience Act is no longer wrongly used against institutions who are putting safety and science first.”
This idiot doesn’t even know what science is, nor anything about safety. I’d explain science to him but he is either too stupid or to corrupt to ever learn or say he knows.
Here is a politician THAT NEEDS TO BE HUNG
bring out the guns….no wait Illinois doesn’t have guns! The Tyrants aren’t afraid of you, because they disarmed you!
It is the MO for democrats, and tyrants, figure out how to PUNISH ordinary citizens who do not comply with their mandates. Sadly hard core democrats will be ushered into concentration camps without resistance. I believe that any chicken anywhere can cross any road they choose WITHOUT QUESTIONING THEIR MOTIVE, and punishing chickens that do not cross roads is WRONG.
What’s the penalty for being a fat ass.
he can go to Hell and the entire State should just ignore him. Mandates have been over ruled by a judge So buzz off fatty. Go for a jog. Medical Tyranny is what this is and people have endured enough. Modi of India gave all their citizens Ivermectin and India has flatlined. President Trump wanted all Americans to receive HXQ and they blocked it!
communist democrat pedophile cult party is always finding ways to punish our United States Citizens while allowing southern border illegal insurgents free run of our land with no tests or vaccine requirements!
Rid our country of these communist democrat pedophile cult party members and exile them to Afghanistan!
So many Damnocrats, so few limb chippers.
Socialism seeks to reign supreme!
Hope these people are smart enough to vote this out. This is still a free America . There are people out there that should not get this vaccine. Choice
Jawohl, Mein Fuehrer Pritzker!
I hope he fires them all. It’s long past the time to turn this dynamic but corrupt state into a productive member of the United States.
