Federal COVID vaccine mandates-prohibition and remedies.
This bill prohibits Wyoming state government agencies from enforcing federal mandates requiring employers to ensure employees receive COVID-19 vaccinations or weekly testing. It specifically blocks enforcement until federal regulations are legally confirmed after all court challenges are resolved. The law also appropriates $1 million for the attorney general to challenge federal mandates in court, aiming to protect citizens' rights to make personal health decisions without government coercion. It directly affects Wyoming public entities (like state agencies) and employers subject to federal rules, but does not apply to private businesses.
