UPDATE: 4/24/2024 - HR 1042 was adopted by the House and referred for enrollment on 4/24/2024.
HR 1042 was introduced by Representative Rick West on 4/22/2024.
HR 1042 is a resolution stating that the State of Oklahoma is sovereign and that elected officials are the appropriate entity to make law and policy for state residents. It further states that the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations (UN), World Economic Forum (WEF) will have no authority to make any law or policy that impacts the lives of the people of the State of Oklahoma.
The resolution states that the "state and its political subdivision, including but not limited to counties, cities, towns, precincts, water districts, school districts, school administrative units, or quasi-public entities, should not engage in the enforcement of, or any collaboration with the enforcement of, any requirements, instructions, mandates, recommendations, or guidance provided by the World Health Organization, the United Nations or the World Economic Forum." It further states that Oklahoma will not use any mandate, instruction, communication or guidance issued by the WHO, the UN, or the WEF for any basis of action. The state will not take any actions contrary to its constitution or laws including any requirements for masks, vaccines, or medical testing. The state will not gather public or private information about those who live in Oklahoma.
NVIC SUPPORTS HR 1042 because it affirms that Oklahomans should not be subject to harmful interference or mandates from international organizations, including vaccine requirements, tracking, or testing. NVIC opposes all vaccine mandates and supports informed consent for all individuals. International organizations like the World Health Organization, United Nations, and the World Economic Forum have been hostile toward informed consent to vaccination, which includes the right to refuse a vaccine without coercion, harassment, or penalty. The WHO has labeled individuals who have refused a vaccine for medical, personal, or religious reasons as "anti-vaxxers" and has publicly concluded they are a menace to society and the greatest threat to global health in their 2019 publication. Based on the WHO's opinion that refusing a vaccine is a threat to global health, resolutions like HR 1042 are important to call attention to the dangers of citizens from global interference. Oklahomans should have the right to informed consent and an ability to refuse a vaccine for themselves or their child for without coercion.
