Only a true blue state would even consider this oppressive bill. So of course this bill comes up every quarter in New York as an option for New York Legislators to vote on.
“Bill A416 presents a serious risk to the basic liberties of all Americans in the state of New York, including their right to choose whether or not to receive medical treatment and vaccinations related to thus far undetermined contagious diseases.
The bill gives the Governor of New York, his or her delegates – including but not limited to the commissioner and heads of local health departments – the right to remove and detain any individuals or groups of people through issuing a single order. The orders only have to include the individual’s name(s) or “reasonably specific descriptions of the individuals or groups.”
The department can decide to hold a person or group of people in a medical facility or any other they deem appropriate. The language is purposefully vague.
Before going any further, it’s important to point out that A416 is one of those “pet bills” from a particular assembly member that’s regularly introduced but doesn’t make any progress. Assemblyman Nick Perry of Flatbush has introduced this bill at the beginning of every legislative session since 2015. Each time, the bill is read into committee, after which it is tabled with no further action taken. The bill doesn’t attract any other sponsors and it’s never come up for a vote on the floor.”
Just the fact that it comes up every quarter as an option is insane. The bill should be laughed out of the assembly, it’s oppressive and gives the Governor practically absolute power over residents. This legislation is especially worrying since the latest variant of COVID has Libs freaking out. So you never know, this bill might eventually pass and make New York a place where the governor can make you disappear, someone, just because they didn’t get the vaccine.
