Governor Chris Sununu put his signature on HB1455, which prohibits state enforcement of any federal law, order, or rule that requires an individual, as a condition of employment or any other activity, to provide proof of vaccination against
COVID-19.
The state is also prohibited from enforcing testing requirements for COVID19 more than once a month. And that sounds great but let’s slow our roll.
While “No state or local government agency, and no official or employee thereof, shall enforce or assist in the enforcement or administration of any such law, order, or rule.” And the state shall not assist in investigating or assisting federal agencies,
Paragraphs I and II of this section shall not apply to any health care facility, provider, or contractor subject to a federal vaccine requirement including the survey and certification policies and procedures under the authority of the department of health and human services, bureau of licensing and certification.
Now all of a sudden, what seemed great doesn’t sound as good. Just like what they did to HB1178. From Nullification to Dullification.
So, what’s left? A Step in the right direction?
