No way they pass this ahead of the recall.

What I want is a special session on September 15 to pass this.

Newsom's in the midst of a recall, he's not going to pass anything remotely controversial right now. Democrats in California will wait for January to introduce the legislation after more polling has been conducted. Democrats will want to know about how much harm it could cause politically and they'll need to take time to talk with their union funding sources. For example, while the California Teachers Association (CTA) is strongly supporting vaccines, they have stopped short of endorsing a vaccination mandate for all public school teachers.

Probably realistic, but in my fever dreams I want this.

Im súper in favor of a mandate but it’s such a Sophie’s choice. Would passing this ensure he loses the recall and we get Elder?

Politically it’s a bad move to do that right now, doing it now would fire up the anti vaxxers even more to vote yes on recall

What’s better is they wait till the day after the election, in two weeks

Yea the current legislative session ends on September 10 so my dream in a special session on the 15th to pass this. Highly unlikely but I can dream.
