A Republican senator introduced a bill that mandates voter identification laws for states that mandate COVID-19 vaccine passports.

So far, no state has mandated a vaccine passport-like system. New York City became the first city, however, to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination when entering businesses like restaurants, bars, gyms, and theaters.
