“This resolution provides you with the opportunity to not only ensure that students entering or attending school in August 2022 are not mandated or harassed to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but also to preserve state resources by eliminating the need for litigation,” the attorney wrote. General Landry to House Speaker Schexnayder, Senate President Cortez, President Bagley, and President Mills.

Crews challenging the rule was filed immediately after the governor overturned the legislature’s disapproval of said rule, “we know only too well the slow of the judicial process. This places Louisiana parents who wish to exercise their own decisions about the health and well-being of their children in a state of anxiety as the litigation unfolds.

“I will continue to do my part to prevent the unauthorized exercise of legislative authority by the governor and his LDH, but only the legislative branch can provide these parents and children with immediate relief from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement. imposed by the LDH,” added Attorney General Landry. “I urge you to support this resolution to protect the rights of children and parents in the coming school year.”
