Schultz objected to it, saying "state government shouldn't be in the business of firing people in this state", but he cast a vote in favor of the bill.[^1] He voted no on a bill to impose new safety rules for meatpacking workers, and he said unions were to blame for not keeping those workers safe.[^1] In 2025 Schultz was the author of a bill barring health care professionals from asking patients whether they use, possess or have access to firearms.[^1] Laws of this kind are sometimes called physician gag laws.
