The proposed Bill No. 214 seeks to amend chapter 925 of the general statutes to establish a legal framework allowing employees to sue their employers for injuries or illnesses resulting from vaccinations or medicinal treatments mandated as a condition of employment. The bill permits employees to seek actual damages for such injuries or illnesses and introduces the possibility of punitive damages if the employer knowingly requires the vaccination or treatment without verifying its safety through publicly available medical testing and documentation.

In summary, the bill introduces new legal language that enables employees to hold employers accountable for adverse health effects stemming from required vaccinations or treatments, while also removing any existing legal barriers that may prevent such actions. This legislative change aims to provide a clear cause of action for employees who believe they have suffered due to employer-mandated health measures.
