Wyoming Joins States Asking Supreme Court to Block OSHA Vaccine Mandate Rule

[News From SheridanMedia.com]

The State of Wyoming has asked the Supreme Court to halt implementation of the emergency temporary standard issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that mandates vaccines of private Wyoming businesses with over 100 employees. On Saturday, a coalition of 27 states, including Wyoming, filed an Emergency Application for an Administrative Stay with the United States Supreme Court.

The states asked the Supreme Court to reinstate the nationwide stay of the vaccine mandate issued by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition, the coalition of states asked the Court in the alternative to take the entire case now and hear it on the merits, instead of letting the 6th Circuit decide the merits first.  On Friday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a previous decision and allowed the vaccine mandate to move ahead. Governor Gordon said “while we are disappointed with the decision of the 6th Circuit’s panel, we immediately requested that the Supreme Court halt this mandate and hear the case, as this overreaching rule exceeds OSHA’s authority and threatens the rights of Wyoming citizens and her industries.”
