Federal Court Blocks Vaccine Mandate for Federal Contractors

 

A federal court has blocked a third vaccination mandate imposed by the Biden administration.

 

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia today granted a motion by Kansas and other plaintiffs to place a temporary injunction on the “Federal Contractor” vaccine mandate. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt goes into detail on what was in that mandate.

 

The court found that the executive order “goes far beyond addressing administrative and management issues to promote efficiency and economy in procurement and contracting, and instead, in application, works as a regulation of public health, which is not authorized under the Procurement Act.”

 

In addition to this ruling, a new state law enacted last month requires all employers, both public and private sector, to accommodate employee requests for relief from COVID-19 vaccine requirements on medical or religious grounds.
