No Mandates Act
HR 403, the No Mandates Act, prohibits federal agencies from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations through rules or guidance (Section 2). It also bans requiring vaccination for access to federal property, services, or congressional grounds (Section 3). The bill further restricts entities receiving federal funds - such as those from the CARES Act, American Rescue Plan, or other COVID-19 relief packages - from mandating vaccines as a condition for services (Section 4). Noncompliant entities must return all received federal funds (Section 4(b)).
