Past Sessions
Our Legislative Legacy
Texans for Vaccine Choice has made serious strides in shaping the landscape of medical freedom through historic legislative sessions. Over the years, our dedication and strategic engagement have brought meaningful change and established a precedent for vaccine choice in Texas.
88th legislative session
Bills We Supported: 60
Bills We Opposed: 14
To say that the 88th Legislative Session was unparalleled for medical liberty would be an understatement. When the Legislature gaveled in on January 10, 2023, TFVC was already tracking dozens of strong bills to advance vaccine choice and dozens more were filed between that day and bill filing deadline in March, making this session a record-breaker as far as TFVC-supported bills written!
Additionally, only a handful of bad bills were filed – an extraordinary change since TFVC has spent previous sessions primarily only playing defense to kill legislation.
87th legislative session
Bills We Supported: 30
Bills We Opposed: 8
When Texans for Vaccine Choice began in 2015, medical liberty advocates were simply playing defense in the Texas Legislature. In six short years, through strategic community relations, Texans for Vaccine Choice has built a network of support from the bottom up to the top of our elected officials, quickly setting the standard for state medical liberty advocacy.
86th legislative session
Bills We Supported: 6
Bills We Opposed: 10
We gained international recognition when Texas’ first-ever vaccine safety bill was filed! We obtained a hearing for a bill we supported & all bad bills were defeated!
85th legislative session
The 7 bills we supported were the first pro-vaccine choice bills to be filed since 2003! Two pro-parental vaccine rights amendments were added to two bills pertaining to CPS custody scenarios that were signed into law.
84th legislative session
TFVC is formed in response to the filing of a mandate bill by a representative from Dallas. We like to say we didn’t know what we were doing, but we did it well! That mandate bill, along with 16 others aimed at eroding medical liberty, were defeated!
