Kansas lawmakers have passed a Bill that would limit the powers of state health officials. The measure now heads to Governor Laura Kelly. The Bill includes provisions that would prohibit the State Health Secretary from requiring COVID-19 vaccines to attend child care or school. It would also remove the requirement for enforcement of isolation and quarantine orders by law enforcement, provide employment protection for employees who isolate or quarantine and address orders for school closure during a disaster.
The Governor has ten days to consider whether to Veto, sign the Bill or let it become law without her signature.
