🚨Two part call to action for this week! 🚨 SB96 – A SNEAK ATTACK ON OUR KIDS. You may have noticed that SB96 didn’t get heard last week… but don’t breathe easy yet. It’s back on the schedule for Tuesday at 8:30 AM. Here’s what you need to know: SB96 seems harmless. It claims to align pharmacist vaccination rules with ACIP/CDC guidelines without requiring an additional vote from our legislators. But the REAL goal is to eliminate age limits for vaccines given in pharmacies. 💉 They’re paving the way for kid vaccine drive-thrus. Insiders tell us this bill was declared “dead” because of public pressure and “controversy.” But don’t be fooled-- 💬 “Dead” bills sometimes turn into zombies. 🧾 The language can still be reused, especially in conference committee. The Indiana Immunization Coalition has been "educating" retail pharmacies that they will start giving catch up vaccines since 2023. Including that there is no maximum number of vaccinces at one time including, "If a kid needs 11 vaccines, you give all 11." They’re getting antsy and expected kids vaccine drive-thrus to be passed last year- but you stopped them! And we can do it again, but we must make our opinions known. 📞 Call before Tuesday and say: “Hoosiers are watching. We know the true intent of SB96 is to remove age requirements for vaccines in pharmacies. Protect Hoosier children from vaccine drive-thrus. Kill the bill.” Call these legislators Your own representative **don't know who they are, text 260-286-0988 the word FIND Barrett 317-232-9695 (Rep. Barrett will get this and the next call to action) McGuire 317-232-9791 Goss-Reves 317-232-9509 Hostettler 317-232-9838 King 317-232-9657 Ledbetter 317-232-9718 HB1003 – THE FIGHT FOR PRIVACY ISN’T OVER. Last week, HB1003 was heard in committee. Hoosiers for Medical Liberty founder Ashley Grogg testified, urging legislators to take real action to protect your medical records.
Ashley demanded: 🔒 Opt-in consent for all health information exchanges (HIEs) 📢 Notification for anyone already impacted ✏️ Access and correction rights for those who choose to participate Rather than applaud her for standing up for Hoosiers, committee members dismissed our concerns. One legislator even claimed medical privacy was “out of scope” because H4ML primarily advocates for vaccine choice. Let’s be clear: Privacy is never out of scope. It is the foundation of informed decision-making. Only Senator Tyler Johnson had the courage to raise an intelligent concern: federal preemption. Here’s what he — and the rest of the committee — need to know: ✅ HIPAA sets a floor, not a ceiling. States can implement stricter protections like opt-in consent for HIEs. ✅ Many states — including New York, Minnesota, and California — already do. ✅ There is no federal law that prohibits Indiana from requiring stronger privacy protections. This bill will be heard again Wednesday at 9:00 AM. Let’s make our voices heard. 📞 Call now and say: "Hoosiers deserve medical privacy. Amend HB1003 and protect your constituents, not public interest groups." Call these committee members: Rep. Brad Barrett – 317-232-9695 (Also gets the call above) Sen. Tyler Johnson – 317-232-9466 Sen. Ed Charbonneau – 317-232-9494 Sen. Justin Busch – 317-232-9488 Sen. Mike Bohacek – 317-232-9533
