Bill overview
This bill, the Freedom from Mandates Act, aims to block the federal government from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations or testing for employees and federal contractors. It specifically nullifies two executive orders issued during the COVID-19 pandemic that mandated safety protocols for federal contractors and required vaccination for federal employees. The bill also prevents the Secretary of Labor from creating rules forcing employers to mandate vaccinations or testing of unvaccinated workers, and restricts the Department of Health and Human Services from penalizing healthcare providers for not requiring vaccinations or testing.
