Rep. Allor says “NO” to vaccine passports in new bill
LANSING, Mich. — State Representative Sue Allor has introduced legislation establishing a COVID-19 Vaccination Privacy Act that she said protects the personal freedoms and individual liberties of Michiganders from government overreach.
Allor’s proposal, House Bill 4667, would prohibit governmental entities from producing, issuing or incentivizing documentation for the purposes of certifying that an individual has received a vaccination for COVID-19 or is immunized from the virus.
“I am working to protect people from government overreach that harms small businesses and industry across our state, and would restrict the freedom of movement that we all enjoy as Americans,” said Allor, of Wolverine. “The notion of a passport offers a dangerous glimpse into government control of some of the most personal decisions in our lives. I’ve heard from people who are worried they aren’t going to be able to get a job, rent an apartment room, purchase groceries in a store, or do many other things because of the possibility that this documentation would be required by the government. My bill will ensure the role of government stays within the confines of our constitution.”
Allor, who represents Michigan’s 106th District, said she hopes to get bipartisan support for the bill. The legislation will be formally read into the record next week.
