Proposed Bill No. 214 seeks to amend chapter 925 of the general statutes to establish a legal framework allowing employees to pursue a cause of action against their employers for injuries or illnesses resulting from vaccinations or medicinal treatments mandated as a condition of employment. The bill stipulates that employees can claim actual damages for such injuries or illnesses and may also seek punitive damages if it is proven that the employer required the vaccination or treatment without verifying its safety through publicly available medical testing and documentation.

The bill introduces new legal language that permits these actions in the Superior Court, thereby enhancing employee rights in the context of workplace health requirements. It aims to hold employers accountable for the safety of mandated medical interventions, ensuring that employees have recourse in the event of adverse health outcomes linked to these requirements.
