A BILL FOR
HB5105 LRB103 38651 SPS 68788 b
AN ACT concerning employment.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
COVID-19 Vaccination Employer Mandate Prohibition Act.
Section 5. Purpose. It is the purpose of this Act to allow
individuals to have the bodily autonomy to make the decision
of whether or not to receive a vaccination or its related
booster that was approved by the United States Food and Drug
Administration to be used under emergency use authorization
for treatment of COVID-19. The fact that the vaccines made
available amid the global pandemic have been granted emergency
use authorization means that both regulatory bodies and
industry experts have not been allotted sufficient time to
study either the short-term and long-term effects that may
arise from the administration of vaccinations authorized for
emergency use. Additionally, since COVID-19 is no longer
categorized as a pandemic, the need for vaccine mandates is no
longer present. Therefore, the State is compelled to prohibit
employers from requiring that employees receive a vaccine or
its related booster that has been approved under emergency use
authorization as a condition of employment.

HB5105 - 2 - LRB103 38651 SPS 68788 b
Section 10. Prohibition. It is unlawful for an employer in
this State to create, implement, or otherwise enforce a
workplace vaccination program that requires an employee to
demonstrate to the employer that he or she has received a
vaccine or its related booster that was approved under
emergency use authorization by the United States Food and Drug
Administration, under the Administration's power outlined in
Section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, for
protection against COVID-19.
