Senator KIMBRELL proposed the following amendment (3126R013.SP.JK):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 5, on page 3, after line 6, by adding an appropriately lettered new subsection to read:

/ () A private employer who terminates, suspends, or otherwise reduces the compensation of an employee because the employee does not receive a COVID-19 vaccination or booster, but the private employer took such action as the consequence of a federal requirement, shall not be penalized for the action by having his average rate of total unemployment affected. /
