To prohibit any entity that receives Federal funds from the COVID relief packages from mandating employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine, and for other purposes.
HR 119 prohibits organizations receiving federal funds from the CARES Act, American Rescue Plan, or other specified COVID relief packages from mandating employee COVID-19 vaccinations. It applies to entities that received funds under six major relief bills, including the CARES Act (2020) and American Rescue Plan (2021). Violating this rule requires the entity to return all received funds to the government. The law directly affects businesses, nonprofits, and public entities that received these specific relief payments.
