Committee hears short presentation on HB 807 to restore earlier statutory language on emergency‑use vaccines
Representative Jedediah Hinkle introduced House Bill 807, a restoration bill that re‑inserts statutory language relating to vaccines authorized under emergency use into the code after a district court struck the subsection as misfiled under the bill’s original title.

Nut graf: The sponsor said the language reinstated in HB 807 already reflected existing statutory text in effect prior to the court decision and that restoring the provision would prevent required vaccinations under emergency authorizations without explicit statutory change. Representative Hinkle described the bill as re‑placing text previously enacted in House Bill 702 (2021) that the court had vacated.

There were no opponents in the room and no informational witnesses. The committee moved House Bill 807 out of Health and Human Services and onto the floor during executive action.

Ending: The matter was presented as a narrow, technical restoration of language previously in statute; committee staff and members recorded no fiscal impact and the bill proceeded to the House floor following the hearing.
