Bill overview
This bill, the Exemptions for Critical Workers Act, aims to protect certain federal employees and contractors from COVID-19 vaccination mandates. It specifically exempts critical infrastructure workers – as defined by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency – from federal vaccination requirements for employees and contractors. The bill also extends this exemption to federal contracts, ensuring that subcontractors must similarly accommodate critical infrastructure workers who decline vaccination. This legislation seeks to maintain workforce participation in vital sectors during the pandemic.
