Robert A Clausen

H06

Voted Yes

Why they voted this way

The lawmaker urges voting no because he believes the bill covers all vaccine mandates, upends established public health doctrine, is anti-business by stripping employers of authority to set conditions, and imposes an arbitrary five-year wait period for school mandates.
