BREAKING: A federal appeals court panel has ruled that President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for larger private employers can take effect. Friday’s ruling reverses a lower-court ruling that had paused the requirement.
December 18, 2021 GMT
A federal appeals court panel on Friday allowed President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for larger private employers to move ahead. Republican-led states joined with conservative groups, business associations and some individual businesses to push back against the requirement as soon as OSHA published the rules in early November. They argued that OSHA was not authorized to make the emergency rule.
Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge said she would ask the U.S. Supreme Court to block the order.
