BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Two Beverly Hills firefighters and a nonprofit group are suing Los Angeles County and the city of Beverly Hills, alleging the county’s health care worker coronavirus vaccination mandate should be declared void and that the city has no authority to question religious exemptions to the mandate.
The Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit was brought Dec. 10 by Beverly Hills firefighters Josh Sattley and Ettore Berardinelli Jr. and the organization Protection for the Educational Rights of Kids (PERK). PERK’s website states it is a grassroots organization dedicated to empowering educators and parents to take an active role in education-centered legislation.
