No COVID vaccine mandates at funded employers
If enacted, this bill would stop employers that got federal COVID relief funds from requiring COVID-19 vaccines for workers. If your employer received money from those funds, they could not make you get the vaccine. Employers who break the rule would have to return the relief money to the federal government. It applies only to funds from six named COVID relief laws: the CARES Act; Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020; Families First Coronavirus Response Act; Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act; Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021; and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. This could help workers who do not want a mandate, but may reduce workplace health protections.
