SACRAMENTO—A bill that would have required all California workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 has been shelved, a lawmaker announced on March 29.

“Today I’m announcing that I have made a decision to hold AB1993, which would require all California businesses to require their employees and independent contractors to receive the COVID-19 vaccine,” state Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland) announced on Twitter.
