The Session Week 6: Vaccines, Coal, and Public Assistance Programs As of mid-day Friday 731 bills have been introduced, and Gov. Greg Gianforte has signed 2 bills into law. This week, we’re watching bills about vaccines, Colstrip, and public assistance programs. Senate Bill 132 carried by Sen. Keith Regier, a Republican from Kalispell, would require employers that require workers to be vaccinated to uniformly offer exemptions. In other words, if a workplace requires vaccinations and offers alternative accommodations for medical or religious reasons, that same alternative must be available to any employee who requests. House Bill 332 is carried by Rep. Ed Hill, a Republican from Havre. It would expand the definition of “immunizations” required for school attendance to include previous infection and recovery and “homeoprophylaxis,” a type of homeopathy, a medical system based on the belief that the body can heal itself aided by small amounts of naturally occurring substances.
