Legislation Already Filed Against HPV Vaccine

Skip to the Article

We knew this was coming. Two legislators have already filed legislation against Governor Perry’s Executive Order mandating the HPV vaccine.

Rep. Dennis Bonnen (R-Angleton) has filed HB 1098 which would take a lot of the teeth out of Perry’s order by exempting the vaccine from being required for school enrollment:

Immunization against the human papilloma virus may not be required for a person’s admission to any elementary or secondary school. This subsection preempts all contrary executive orders of the governor.

Sen. Glen Hegar (R-Katy) has filed a companion bill in the senate with the same language. It is SB 438.
