State governments continue promoting emergency powers legislation, even while insisting these unconstitutional powers will never be used. Here are a few excerpts from Pennsylvania House Bill 492, the "Emergency Health Powers Act" [PDF]:

Section 2523-D. Effect of declaration.

(b) Emergency powers of Governor."“During a state of public

health emergency, the Governor may:

(4) Mobilize all or any part of the Pennsylvania

National Guard into service of the Commonwealth. An order

directing the Pennsylvania National Guard to report for

active duty shall state the purpose for which it is mobilized

and the objectives to be accomplished.

Section 2532-D. Access to and control of facilities and

property.

The public health authority may exercise, for such period as

the state of public health emergency exists, the following

powers concerning facilities, materials, roads or public areas:

(3) To control, restrict and regulate by rationing and

using quotas, prohibitions on shipments, price fixing,

allocation or other means, the use, sale, dispensing,

distribution or transportation of food, fuel, clothing and

other commodities, alcoholic beverages, firearms, explosives

and combustibles, as may be reasonable and necessary for

emergency response.

(5) To control ingress and egress to and from any

stricken or threatened public area, the movement of persons

within the area and the occupancy of premises therein, if

such action is reasonable and necessary for emergency

response.

Section 2542-D. Mandatory medical examinations.

(a) Powers of public health authority."“The public health

authority may exercise, for such period as the state of public

health emergency exists, the following emergency powers over

persons:

(1) To compel a person to submit to a physical

examination or testing, or both, as necessary to diagnose or

treat the person subject to the following:

(i) The medical examination or testing may be

performed by any qualified person authorized by the

public health authority.

(ii) The medical examination or testing may not be

reasonably likely to result in serious harm to the

affected individual.

(iii) The medical examination or testing shall be

performed immediately upon the order of the public health

authority without resort to judicial or quasi-judicial

authority.

(iv) If the public health authority is uncertain

whether a person who refuses to undergo medical

examination or testing may have been exposed to an

infectious disease or otherwise poses a danger to public

health, the public health authority may subject the

individual to isolation or quarantine as provided in this

article.

(2) To require any physician or other health care

provider to perform the medical examination or testing, or

both.

(b) Enforcement."“An order of the public health authority

given to effectuate the purposes of this section shall be

immediately enforceable by any law enforcement officer.

(c) Penalty."“A person who refuses to submit or perform a

medical examination or test under this section commits a

misdemeanor of the third degree.

Section 2544-D. Vaccination and treatment.

(a) Powers of public health authority."“The public health

authority may, for such period as the state of public health

emergency exists, compel a person to be vaccinated or treated,

or both, for an infectious disease subject to the following

provisions:

(1) Vaccination may be performed by any qualified person

authorized by the public health authority.

(2) A vaccine may not be given if the public health

authority has reason to know that a particular individual is

likely to suffer serious harm from the vaccination.

(3) Treatment may be performed by any qualified person

authorized by the public health authority.

(4) Treatment must not be such as is reasonably likely

to lead to serious harm to the affected individual.

(b) Refusal."“If, by reason of refusal of vaccination or

treatment, the person poses a danger to the public health, the

person may be isolated or quarantined pursuant to the provisions

of this article.

(c) Enforcement."“An order of the public health authority

given to effectuate the purposes of this section shall be

immediately enforceable by any peace officer.

(d) Penalty."“A person who fails to comply with this section

commits a misdemeanor of the third degree.

Section 2572-D. Enforcement.

(a) General rule."“The public health authority shall have

the power to enforce the provisions of this article through the

imposition of fines and penalties, the issuance of orders and

such other remedies as are provided by law.

Section 2574-D. Liability.

(a) State immunity."“Neither the Commonwealth, its political

subdivisions, nor, except in cases of gross negligence or

willful misconduct, the Governor, the public health authority or

any other State official referenced in this article shall be

liable for the death of or any injury to persons or damage to

property as a result of complying with or attempting to comply

with this article or any rule or regulations promulgated

pursuant to this article.

(b) Private liability."“

(3) During a state of public health emergency, no

private person, firm or corporation and employees and agents

of such person, firm or corporation who renders assistance or

advice at the request of the Commonwealth or its political

subdivisions under the provisions of this article shall be

civilly liable for causing the death of or injury to any

person or damage to any property except in the event of gross

negligence or willful misconduct.

For our purposes here, the most important clause in this Act is as follows:

A vaccine may not be given if the public health

authority has reason to know that a particular individual is

likely to suffer serious harm from the vaccination.

Unfortunately, the CDC has already declared--contrary to evidence from 1976 onwards--that individuals are unlikely to suffer serious harm from vaccination!

And if you do suffer harm--as thousands of others have over the years--the state and its contractors accept no responsibility.
