Summary:
"The citizens of the State of Texas and the City of Odessa were subjected to injustices in the form of overreaching government imposed mandates during the pandemic. Unquantifiable damage was done to the citizens of the City of Odessa, mentally, emotionally, and financially, by the imposition of such overreaching government imposed mandates. Mandates, such as masking mandates, violate the free conduct a citizen should expect to enjoy. Compulsory vaccination mandates, imposed by government or business, violate a citizen’s right to control over their own body. Mandates, such as compulsory lockdown mandates, imposed by an overreaching government violate a citizen’s right to freedom and liberty guaranteed by the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Texas."

"NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ODESSA, TEXAS:

Section 1. That the City of Odessa will not enforce any mandate:
(a) that requires a person to wear a mask or any other face covering;
(b) that confines a citizen to their domicile;
(c) that requires businesses to alter their business operation including but not limited to spacing requirements, modified hours of operations, or cessation of operations;
(d) requiring the administration of a vaccine; further within the City of Odessa: a. a person shall not compel or coerce an individual lawfully residing or employed in in or otherwise enjoy the conveniences of the City into obtaining a medical treatment involving the administration of
a vaccine, whether or not approved or authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration, contrary to the individual's vaccination preference;
(e) a health care provider may not provide to an individual lawfully residing in the City a medical treatment involving the administration of a vaccine approved or authorized by the United States Food and Drug Administration unless the provider obtains the individual's informed consent before administering the vaccine;
(f) an individual lacks the capacity to provide informed consent for a medical treatment involving the administration of a vaccine if the individual has been compelled or coerced into being vaccinated contrary to the individual's vaccination preference; and
(g) a person may not take an adverse action or impose a penalty of any kind against an individual lawfully residing in this City for the individual's refusal or failure to obtain a medical treatment involving the administration of vaccine.
