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 also allows for punitive damages if the employer knowingly required the vaccination or treatment without verifying its safety through publicly available medical testing and documentation.

The bill introduces new legal language that enables this cause of action in the Superior Court, thereby providing employees with a means to hold employers accountable for potential harm caused by mandated health measures. The intent of the legislation is to ensure that employees have recourse in cases where they suffer adverse effects from vaccinations or treatments that were required for their job.
