HJRES 62: Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the interim final rule of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration relating to "COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard".

This joint resolution nullifies an Occupational Safety and Health Administration emergency temporary standard for preventing the transmission of COVID-19 in employment settings. Under the standard issued on November 5, 2021, employers with 100 or more employees must require their onsite employees to either be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing.

HRES 779: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Congress disapproves of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Vaccine Mandate.

HRES 779 is a symbolic resolution introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on November 5, 2021. It expresses Congress’s disapproval of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) emergency temporary standard (ETS) requiring employers with over 100 workers to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations or weekly testing/mask-wearing. The resolution argues OSHA overstepped its authority by treating COVID-19 as a workplace-specific risk, despite Congress having delegated vaccine-related authority to other agencies like the FDA and CDC. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change any laws or enforceable requirements - it only states congressional opinion on the ETS.

HR 5903: HERD Act

Having Employees Return to Duty Act or the HERD Act This bill addresses federal employees who comply with Executive Order 14043 (requiring COVID-19 vaccination for federal employees). Specifically, the bill requires each federal agency to require employees who comply with the order to work from their duty station and to work the hours required as of February 15, 2020. The bill's requirement does not apply to immunocompromised employees. Additionally, the bill does not prohibit an agency from implementing different policies at a particular work site if the agency finds that (1) there is substantial transmission of COVID-19 within a community in which such requirements would otherwise be carried out; and (2) implementing those different policies will not degrade the level of service that the agency provides to the public.

HR 5835: Defund Federal Vaccine Mandates Act

The Defund Federal Vaccine Mandates Act would prohibit federal funds from being used to establish, implement, or enforce any requirement that people receive vaccinations. It directly affects federal agencies and programs that rely on federal funding to mandate vaccines, such as those requiring vaccinations for federal employees, contractors, or federally funded services. The key provision is a spending restriction that would block federal money from supporting vaccine mandates, requiring agencies to find alternative funding sources or discontinue such mandates. This bill does not eliminate vaccine mandates but would cut off federal financial support for them.
