Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte has issued an executive order banning the development or use of vaccine passports in Montana.
Vaccine passports are documents that could be used to verify COVID-19 immunization status and allow inoculated people to more freely travel, shop, and dine.
The move by Gianforte on Tuesday comes as vaccine passports have drawn criticism as a heavy-handed intrusion into personal freedom and private health choices.
Gianforte says in a statement that he encourages all Montana residents to get vaccinated but that it is “entirely voluntary.”
Vaccine passports have been implemented in New York but the White House has said there will not be any federal vaccine passport program.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed an executive order earlier this month that would bar state agencies or entities that receive public funds from requiring a person to show a vaccine passport in order to receive goods or services, or to enter a building.
“Every day, Texans return to normalcy as more people get the COVID vaccine. In fact, this week, Texas will surpass 13 million doses administered,” Abbott said April 6. “Those shots help slow the spread of COVID, reduce hospitalizations, and reduce fatalities.”
The Republican governor said the order exempts nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
My friend just moved there, loves it. Left phx because she fig if Biden won they’d flood our state with illegals.
She was right.
lousy rino uniparty GOPe . . . wait, what?
Those less formal bits of paper and/or electronic records will be surrogates for the vaccine passports until the majority of sheeple give in to passports.

To be followed by an implanted chip.
Excellent!
Um, nope.
That's been made illegal in three red states (including Texas) already. You try that and you'd find your sorry butt in jail.
I haven’t seen the details on Montana yet but in FL and TX the orders only apply to the state or state-funded organizations.
No governor has the authority to keep a private company from asking for evidence of vaccination.
Big Tech has already systematically deplatformed a number of conservatives. Big Banks and payment processors like Paypal have cut off people like Laura Loomer and Pamela Gellar, too.
They will “accidentally” flip your status to infected or delete the vaccine passport app on their targets, just as they “accidentally” disable their Twitter accounts regularly.
It hurts you more, because you can’t get an Uber or go to the grocery store ...
