Local government and schools should be accountable for the injuries they cause to others. Having some liability helps promote responsible government. I support this bill shielding the employees and having the liability on the body, not the person.

Make the person liable. Shrink the government. Stop voting to make it bigger. This is just an altered qualified immunity. Which is wrong.

I have concerns that HB1064 may reduce avenues for residents to seek accountability when harmed by government action. Any liability reform should preserve meaningful access to justice

I strongly support this bill. The only people who should be making decisions regarding their children's' health / immunization are the parents or legal guardians. Thank you for supporting this bill.
