Alabama lawmakers pass bill to ban ‘vaccine passports’

Alabama lawmakers approved a bill today to ban “vaccine passports,” legislation that sparked several hours of debate in the House of Representatives between Republicans who supported it and Democrats who questioned the need and intent.

The Senate later voted 29-0 to agree with changes the House made in the bill and gave it final passage on the last day of the legislative session.

The bill goes to Gov. Kay Ivey, who could sign it into law.
