“The court reaffirmed a basic civics lesson: the executive branch cannot demand compliance with a rule it never had the authority to write in the first place,” Yost said in a statement.
Biden’s administration is not enforcing the contractor vaccination requirement in any states, as the legal battles continue to play out, according to the Associated Press.
The circuit agreed with a district court’s issuance of a preliminary injunction blocking the Biden Administration’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors. The mandate would require tens of millions of Americans to wear face masks at work and be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Yost called the decision, “the latest victory for Ohioans against Federal overreach related to Covid-19 vaccination mandates.
