LA City Council Approves Sweeping COVID Vaccine Mandate To Enter Restaurants, Shopping Centers, Mayor Garcetti Signs Ordinance

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – The Los Angeles City
Council Wednesday approved a sweeping ordinance that will require proof of a
COVID-19 vaccination to enter restaurants, bars, shopping centers and other
establishments.
The ordinance was approved by an 11-2 margin. It needed
12 votes to pass with an emergency clause which would have allowed it to take
effect immediately. Instead, the earliest it can take effect is in one month,
or on Nov. 6.
Wednesday afternoon, Mayor
Eric Garcetti signed the
ordinance to require people to show proof of full COVID-19
vaccination.
This was the second vote on the ordinance. Last week,
Councilman Joe Buscaino invoked
a city council rule that allowed him to withhold unanimous consent,
preventing the council from voting on the ordinance on its first reading.
Buscaino and fellow Councilman John Lee dissented on Wednesday.
The ordinance will apply to:
Restaurants, bars, fast food establishments, coffee
shops, tasting rooms, cafeterias, food courts, breweries, wineries,
distilleries banquet halls and hotel ballrooms.
Gyms and fitness venues, including recreation facilities,
fitness studios (including for yoga, pilates, dance, and barre), boxing gyms,
fitness boot camps and facilities that hold indoor group fitness classes.
Entertainment and recreation venues including movie
theaters, shopping centers, concert venues, performance venues, adult
entertainment venues, commercial event and party venues, sports arenas,
convention centers, exhibition halls, museums, malls, performing arts theaters,
bowling alleys, arcades, card rooms, family entertainment centers, pool and
billiard halls, play areas and game centers.
Personal care establishments, including spas, nail
salons, hair salons, barbershops, tanning salons, estheticians, skin care,
tattoo shops, piercing shops and massage therapy locations, unless medically
required.
People will be exempt from the mandate if they have
medical conditions that restrict their ability to get vaccinated or a
“sincerely held religious belief,” which will be reviewed by the location the
person is trying to enter. People who are exempt would be able to use outdoor
areas of the location, but if unavailable, they may be allowed to enter the
indoor area by providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
The ordinance will also require people to show proof of vaccination,
or a negative COVID-19 test to attend outdoor events with 5,000 or more people.
Retail establishments, including grocery stores and
pharmacies, are not included in the ordinance.
Enforcement of compliance will likely begin Nov. 29.
Businesses that violate the ordinance would be issued a $1,000 fine for its
second violation, $2,000 fine for a third violation and a $5,000 fine for a
fourth violation.
U.S. Rep. Mike Garcia (R-Santa Clarita) also criticized
the ordinance.
“Hospitalizations and deaths are down 45% from last
month, but the city is now putting in place the most radical measures yet,”
Garcia tweeted.
This will be markedly stricter than the order passed by
the L.A. County Public Health Department earlier
this month mandating people show proof of vaccination to enter
bars, lounges, breweries, wineries and nightclubs. They will have to show proof
of at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine beginning on Oct. 7, and proof of
full vaccination by Nov. 4. The L.A. County order also calls for either
proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within the past 72
hours to
attend outdoor events with 10,000 or more people.
The city of L.A. ordinance will be
similar to policies in West Hollywood, New York and San Francisco.
West Hollywood’s policy to require adult patrons entering many indoor
businesses to submit proof of at least partial vaccination goes into effect on
Thursday, with full vaccination required beginning Nov. 4.
