WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) joined Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) in introducing the Restore Parental and Consumer Medical Rights in the Nation’s Capital Act, legislation to overturn the COVID-19 vaccination requirements on consumers and students imposed by the District of Columbia.
“Americans should not be required to show personal medical records just to eat at a restaurant or work out at the gym. These are decisions best left to individuals, their doctors, and businesses themselves, not mandates by the government,” said Senator Cramer.
“Enacting a vaccine mandate that infringes upon the right of parents to make medical decisions for their children and the personal liberties of consumers, in the capital of what is supposed to be the freest country in the world, doesn’t sound like freedom at all,” said Senator Paul. “My legislation would stop these ridiculous, unscientific mandates and restore individual and parental rights in the District.”
This legislation will repeal the mandate requiring a vaccine to enter any indoor food and drink establishments, indoor cultural and entertainment establishments, indoor exercise and recreational facilities, indoor event and meeting establishments, and any other indoor establishment designated by the Director of the DC Department of Health in the District as well as the D.C. student vaccine mandate.
Senators Cramer and Paul are joined on the bill by Senators Rick Scott (R-FL), James Lankford (R-OK), and Roger Wicker (R-MS).
