The California Legislature will debate mandating workplaces of all sizes to require employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19, making it a much stricter iteration of the Biden administration’s mandate struck down by the Supreme Court.

The Assembly bill would impose financial penalties on businesses in violation of the rule, which is expected to draw ire from vaccine mandate opponents, Politico reported. Despite signs the omicron variant’s onslaught is receding, Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, the bill’s author, said the pandemic’s track record of unpredictability warrants a greater push for vaccinations.
