#585 Another Bill Against Illegal Chip Implants passed by California, North Dakota and WisconsinThe Bill anticipates everything -- employers compelling implantation as a condition of employment; the use of threats and coercion to keep implantees silent; attempts at sidestepping prosecution by claiming that the Statute of Limitations has expired; attempts at eluding detection by implanting children without the parents' knowledge or permission; etc. etc. Very nice.This went to the PA House State Government Committee in early April 2009. According to PA House news releases on June 19th, it's now cleared that Committee and has been moved to the floor of the full House for a vote.Note in the following excerpt from one of these news releases that these Pennsylvania legislators got their ideas from similar legislation passed in California, North Dakota and Wisconsin.http://www.pahouse.com/WeekinReview/09/000061909.asp================="The House State Government Committee has approved a bill (H.B. 1175) introduced by state Rep. Babette Josephs that would prohibit a person from requiring, coercing or compelling another person to be surgically tagged with an identification device. Currently, Pennsylvania has no law prohibiting the forced implantation of identification devices, though Josephs said that numerous threats to personal health, privacy and civil liberty had been brought to the nation's attention by other states. California, North Dakota and Wisconsin have already passed legislation to create civil penalties and cause for action for damages resulting from such coerced procedures."=================
