Bill banning involuntary microchip implanting passes Alabama House

The Alabama House of Representatives Thursday approved a bill that would prohibit employers from requiring employees be microchipped.

HB 4, sponsored by Rep. Prince Chestnut, D-Selma, would make violations of the law a Class D Felony, punishable by a sentence of one to five years in prison.

“One of the things I came across that concerned me was this – it seemed like a push in certain areas to microchip people, in some cases in the workplace,” Chestnut said.

The bill passed the House 104-0. It moves to the Senate.

2. Hard to believe that repubs won't eventually go for this, being the control freaks that they are.

Only the rich will be allowed leisure time, free time from responsibilities. The rest of us will have to be available to & monitored by our corporate masters 24x7x365.

The human race is not on a good trajectory.

I guess it's a harmless enough law, seeing as how nobody is involuntarily microchipping anybody except pets. Maybe they should make it illegal to walk on ceilings or play bagpipes in libraries, too.
