Kansas Attorney General Chris Kobach calls it a major win for Kansans in upholding Kansas law and protecting religious liberty.
The Kansas Supreme Court has upheld a 2021 Kansas law that allows workers to refuse the covid-19 vaccine on religious grounds. The 2021 law, passed during the sole special session in Kansas history, called by the legislature itself, enables employees seeking a religious exemption to submit a written waiver request attesting that receiving the covid-19 vaccine would violate their sincerely held religious beliefs.
Powerback rehabilitation, a healthcare company, sought judicial review of a Kansas Department of Labor order arguing that state law conflicted with a federal law that required the company to vaccinate its employees.
