CONCORD — The House Education Committee followed up five hours of public testimony by passing an amendment to House Bill 255 that would prohibit businesses and other entities from requiring that workers be vaccinated.

Dissenting committee members pointed out the amendment as written not only dictates how businesses handle concerns about public safety but also would prohibit churches and other private organizations from imposing vaccine requirements if they wish.
