In the madness to end the 2021 legislative session in California, Democratic lawmakers are once again removing and replacing the text of passed laws. They first used the secret bowel and modification process during this session of the AB-455, which was intended to force a vaccination warrant on most companies and employees in California. For unknown reasons, Democrats were asked to present Table AB-455 on Monday. But fear not, the left never gives up.
The next bill Democrats will have to address in the “guts and amendments” is AB-1102. Prior to its repeal, the bill referred to amending a small section “of the Code of Business and Professions, related to the healing arts.”

Now, the California Globe reports that “the now 35 pages of AB 1102 from Assemblyman Evan Low (D-Palo Alto), make these changes from the old ‘Telephone Medical Advice Services:'”
• The current statute on state discrimination (section 12940 of the Government Code) is amended by specifying that the law does not prevent an employer from requiring a vaccine against COVID-19 as a working condition. And it specifies that employers may require CDC-recommended booster shots.
• It also clarifies that employers may require employees or “candidates” who are not vaccinated to submit regular tests to confirm the negative status of COVID-19.
• Applies the provisions to apprenticeship training programs, unpaid internships, or any other program to provide unpaid experience to a person in the workplace.
• Sunsets on January 1, 2024.
In other words, as they did with the AB-455, California Democratic lawmakers are pushing to empower companies to demand a COVID-19 vaccine and subsequent booster vaccines for all. employment bidders, and for paid and unpaid employees.
Really, where does this end? Note that the amended bill states that it will expire on January 1, 2024 (i.e., two years and four months from today), but, as we Californians know, as long as the emergency declaration of Newsom from March 4, 2020 is in force, they are at your mercy because they can use the emergency powers to invoke the “urgent request” of any bill.
The California Globe also notes that the “new and improved” AB-1102 addresses other vaccine-related issues, such as previously infected people, children under the age of twelve, and “all eligible Californians”:
Amendment 2, section (e): “People who have previously been infected with COVID-19 need to be vaccinated, as researchers have found that” vaccinating after infection doubles the activity of neutralizing the antibodies needed to repel the virus and prevent infection with variants “.
Amendment 2, section (f) Children under the age of 12 are not yet eligible for vaccination, which puts them at risk of contracting the highly contagious variant of COVID-19 Delta.
(h) To prevent further shutdowns and prevent the health care system from overflowing, it is critical that all eligible Californians be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Really, it is already seen again as we slide back to the old sayings of “not overwhelming hospitals” and “lowering the curve,” even though almost every hospital in California is not overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients. And even when California hospitals are close or close, the data shows it’s not due to COVID admissions.
The Republican reaction to these “intestinal and amended” bills has been swift. In a statement to The Signal, Sen. Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita), leader of the California state Senate minority, said, “I oppose these proposals. If passed, we would essentially exclude the people who were not vaccinated (for whatever reason) from participation in public life. ”He added that while vaccinating and encouraging people to get vaccinated,“ it is a personal choice and not a one-size-fits-all solution ”.
In the California Assembly, Parliamentarian Tom Lackey (R-Palmdale) accepted it for a long time, and told The Signal that he found the “gut and amendment” process to be the “most unpleasant “of the subject. “The process was designed for emergencies because what it does is it doesn’t allow for public input,” Lackey said, and “it’s a last-minute jam instead of a reflective commitment to [our constituents] who sent us to make these decisions “.
While it remains to be seen whether the AB-1102 will suffer the same fate as the recently introduced AB-455, one thing is certain: the left will not stop trying to transmit a vaccine warrant, regardless of the questionable process. or secret they have to do. usually does; after all, “presented” does not mean “dead.”
