The proposed legislation, titled the \u201cPrevent Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates for Interstate Commerce Act,\u201d is backed by Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah), among others.<\/p>\n<p>The bill would ban proof of vaccination requirements for the purposes of commerce or travel. The vaccine passport ban would affect the Federal Aviation Administration, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Commerce Department and others.<\/p>\n<p>GOP senators argued vaccine passports would undermine economic growth and infringe on constitutional rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy Prevent Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates for Interstate Commerce Act ensures that the Biden administration cannot require anyone to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to do business across state borders, and protects Americans\u2019 rights and privacy,\u201d Scott explained.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Vaccines mandates will have a devastating effect on our economy. <\/p>\n<p>Just one reason I&#8217;m happy to join <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRickScott?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenRickScott<\/a> introduce the Prevent Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates for Interstate Commerce Act. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ujj5uv7AOK\">pic.twitter.com\/Ujj5uv7AOK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenRonJohnson\/status\/1443391206009024516?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Texas Rep.

Americans should have the right to make the best decision for themselves when it comes to getting the COVID vaccine,\u201d said Crenshaw. \u201cAs lawmakers, what we need to do is educate the public in an honest way about the vaccine, and then allow them to make the choice for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-mcconnell-biden-gave-our-enemies-in-afghanistan-everything-they-wanted\/\">Sen.
