IRVINE, Calif.—Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks said she will hold her proposed statewide vaccine verification bill, Assembly Bill 455, from moving forward in the State Legislature until 2022, “in order to allow more time to create the strongest policy possible and provide for additional stakeholder collaboration.”

“I’m proud of the framework we’ve created for this bill, and of the collaboration that’s taken place among such a diverse group of stakeholders. I’m committed to working with my colleagues and key stakeholders to make this the strongest bill possible headed into 2022,” she said in an Aug. 30 statement.
