By: Toth H.C.R. No. 76       HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION          WHEREAS, The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986   has allowed vaccine manufacturers to operate with impunity,   shielded from accountability, while American taxpayers ultimately   pay the price for injuries caused by their products; and          WHEREAS, The NCVIA has shielded vaccine manufacturers from   any and all liability for injuries and deaths resulting from the use   of their products; and          WHEREAS, Enacted on November 14, 1986, the NCVIA has   prevented millions of vaccine-injured individuals from having   their claims heard by a jury of their peers and has denied them   their state and federal constitutional rights of due process; and          WHEREAS, The NCVIA has caused disparities between vaccine   research, other forms of medical research, and the testing of   medical drugs; knowing that they are shielded from claims of   vaccine injury and death, vaccine manufacturers have no incentive   to test their products as rigorously as do manufacturers of other   medical drugs; now, therefore, be it          RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas   respectfully urge the United States Congress to repeal the National   Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986; and, be it further          RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official   copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to   the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House of   Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the   members of the Texas delegation to Congress with the request that   this resolution be officially entered in the Congressional Record   as a memorial to the Congress of the United States of America.
