Joshua Massingill recently spoke to CBS Austin to explain Texas’s new Senate bill prohibiting businesses from requiring customers to show proof of vaccination.
Amidst the continuing pandemic, some Texas businesses are asking patrons to prove they are vaccinated before entering the place of business.
However, Joshua laid out why businesses cannot, under the new legislation, require proof of vaccination.
Under Senate Bill 968, Texas local governments are not allowed to issue vaccine passports, Joshua explained in the interview.
He also covered that local businesses are prohibited from requiring vaccine passports under the bill.
He said that businesses cannot use the lack of vaccine proof to deny people access to their business or to receive service from the business.
Joshua also detailed possible consequences of requiring proof of vaccination and not following the law. One of these repercussions is potentially losing one’s business license.
Some businesses have revoked their vaccination proof requirements after learning of the law. However, others have said they will continue to enforce their guidelines for now.
The interview aired on August 12, 2021. See Joshua’s full interview here.
