On February 10, Assembly Members Buffy Wicks, Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, Evan Low, and Akilah Weber introduced Assembly Bill 1993. AB 1993 would add Government Code Section 12940.4 to require an employer to require each employee or independent contractor to provide proof to the employer that the employee or independent contractor has been vaccinated against COVID-19.
The term “proof” means valid documentation of the person’s COVID-19 vaccination record and the phrase “vaccinated against COVID-19” means that the person is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by a vaccine authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration or the World Health Organization.
A person would be considered “vaccinated against COVID-19” for purposes of this section if the person has received the first dose of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration or the World Health Organization, provides proof of that first dose, and provides proof of receiving the second dose of the vaccine within 45 days after receiving the first dose.
However, the requirement does not apply to a person who is ineligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine due to a medical condition or disability or because of a sincerely held religious belief that precludes the person from receiving a vaccination, subject to verification.
The Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) is required to consult with the State Department of Public Health and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health to provide guidance to employers on what constitutes a medical condition or disability, or a sincerely held religious belief.
Proof-of-vaccination status must be obtained in a manner that complies with federal and state privacy laws and the employer cannot retain that proof or share, transfer, or sell that information with or to a third party. DFEH must provide guidance to employers on how to obtain and protect this information.
This requirement applies to both private and public employers in this state. On January 1, 2023, each employer is required to affirm that each employee or independent contractor is in compliance with this section, and that each new employee or independent contractor is in compliance with this section at the time of hiring or contracting with that person.
DFEH is required to impose an unspecified (to be added to the bill at a later date) financial penalty on an employer who violates this section.
There is a legislative finding and declaration that protecting the public health and well-being of the people of California by requiring proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for employment is a matter of statewide concern and therefore applies to all cities, including charter cities.
Finally, this section of law is to remain in effect until the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices determines that COVID-19 vaccinations are no longer necessary for the health and safety of individuals.
AB 1993 will likely be heard in policy committee in March.

"Finally, this section of law is to remain in effect until the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices determines that COVID-19 vaccinations are no longer necessary for the health and safety of individuals."
That time is NOW. What kind of psycho game are they playing? Doesn't go into effect until Jan 2023? Seriously? Is this some kind of leftover legislation from a progressive Dem agenda that expired long ago when they thought they could get away with this stuff? It's laughable.
That photo of Buffy Wicks is so perfect. Look at the glassy, soulless, dead shark eyes. She and other legislators are sitting there authoring bills that are so clueless and so behind-the-times and irrelevant that qualifies the authors for an immediate psychological evaluation. And Californians have to sit here and monitor them because these people are making laws! This situation is now officially a completely absurd time-waster.
ENOUGH!
Neglected to say thank you very much for the heads-up, Chris Micheli. :)
Yes, it is laughable that in this ongoing “emergency”, the bill will go into effect next year! You just cannot make this stuff up!
I mean I suppose that is quick acting during times of duress here in California! Nuts absolutely, positively nuts!????
Hey Oakland, you must do better than electing a nut job like Buffy Wicks. It hurts all Californians!
Oh yeah, ha ha, I guess it was delayed, as everything has been for TWO YEARS, "because of COVID."
Oh, the irony!
Well said. It is ridiculous that we have to constantly monitor what these demonic morons are pushing through. Nothing ever works out well for them because they manage to shoot themselves in the foot and make a bigger mess. If this passes, the labor shortage will be way bigger, less income taxes from eligible workers, less income taxes because people will have no choice but to move.
Amen showandtell
Buffy Wicks : Faces of Meth.....
We didn't learn anything from the Nazi Holocaust did we? History is repeating itself.
If you don't write your legislator now, then you deserve what you get. Don't be lazy.
This has been introduced in the State Assembly. It may go to committee March 13. So calling or writing your own Assembly member would be the thing to do now. In the meantime, keep an eye on it at link below:

You'll find phone numbers for your Asm, both local and at the Capitol, there. Also a contact box (which replaced direct email) where you can register your opposition to AB 1993 if it should come to a vote in the Assembly. As always, keep your comments short and civil.
Democrat Assembly Members Buffy Wicks, Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, Evan Low, and Akilah Weber are still pushing experimental injections that have been proven to be not mostly useless against the C-19 virus but in many cases have caused injury and death? What is wrong with these Democrats? Are they are part of the deep-state/dark-cult NWO globalist cabal? Are they benefiting monetarily with the injections?
Not only that, it's part of depopulation agenda.
I would like to know is that true that this vaccine cause a lot of cancer brain problems and will be killing people. I was also told that is why a lot of people have already died from this vaccine and and the vaccine is going to kill thousand s and thousands of other people. They are also saying this vaccine you guys put out there is to kill more people out of this world, and how bad is that thing is for a human body.
Anyone that caves into there bullshit lies about there poison covid vaccine and this fake ass fuckn plandemic scam how many bullshit extra booster shots are you gonna have to take and lets never forget they havent ever really tested there vaccines your there guinea pigs i can only imagine home many will die and not even no they were murdered and even if you new you were gonna die from there poison your shit out of luck you cant sue anyone dumb fucks
Keep it civil man.
That is one long run-on sentence. Punctuation would be nice.
Okay, everything is clear to me now.
Only the demonically possessed would push an experimental, useless shot as we are now in an endemic!
That is it, there can be no other explanation at this time.
Sure there is...
Social Security is almost broke and the WEF gang wants to institute a "Build Back Better" financial system where "you'll own nothing and be happy"...
Plus, fewer people will help alleviate "climate change" so dead-eyed zombies like Buffy Wicks can rule over the world that's left and all the riches therein...
Anybody with the name Buffy should be disqualified from hold office!
CEO of Moderna deleted his Twitter acct, and cashed in $400m stocks... Blackrock started to dig into data
Pfizer pulled FDA approval for 'newest' vaxx, and warned Board of clinical trial data on administered vax
How long is California going to pretend this isn't a WEF global depopulation agenda?
They can't. The obsession of injecting vaccine is because of the depopulation agenda. Those people are relentless. We have to fight to stop this.
Follow the money. Making a COVID 19 mandatory vaccine for employment is nonsense, since the pandemic has effectively already wound down to endemic levels. Look for the $$ connections to big pharma and other political enterprises. If you follow the money, you'll find the answers.
I NEED to see a list of who is vaccinated and who is not among those who 'represent' us!
I do not understand why they should be allowed to MANDATE
a vaccine that we do not have all of the data on.
Food is required to show its ingredients on the label,
yet there are parents who are going to actually vaccinate their
6 month old baby.... 3 times for ' full vaccination ' status?
That is ok, just keep driving us out of state.
'As goes California,
so goes the Nation?'
Any smart state will automatically outlaw any new law that California enacts, because
all we have here are money hungry clowns that waste our money passing nonsense laws.
How about a law strengthening crime?
How about a law that ends this so called 'emergency' that enables the Governor to destroy our
Golden State?
How about a law forbidding the Governor from ignoring the vote of the people ?
How about a law that requires anybody who holds office to actually sit down with their local constituents,
live and in person, once a month?
We are DONE with this shit and
the day needs to come that they feel the BURDEN that they are placing on us .
Masks Retired not Masks Required !
AMEN!
I’m with ShowanTell!
Say it sister! Amen to that!
That's right. Employers at any size, full time plus contactors, they are so desperate to get everyone injected. But why? Pandamic is over! Why all Californians have to follow some crooks sitting in the assembly making nonsense decisions?
You are right. They are trying to get at the self-employed too (independent contractors). Buffy, etc. are sick, twisted legislators with no souls and endless money from the Pharma companies. They are also stirring up endless chaos to agitate and intimidate the masses. Plus, the Assembly and the State Senate are all exempt from these jobs.
Oops I meant these jabs. Assembly and State senate staff are exempt from these injections.
Spot on Mary!
