Missouri is leading one such lawsuit, which states that the mandate is 'unconstitutional, unlawful, and unwise.'
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently issued a requirement stating that businesses with over 100 employees must have a COVID-19 vaccine or undergo weekly testing for the virus. At least 26 states are opposing the mandate and have asked courts to determine whether the Biden administration has the authority to enforce such a rule.
Gostin is the director of the World Health Organization's center on health law and a professor at Georgetown University Law Center. He claims that the law that created OSHA grants it the power to create and enforce vaccine mandates.More than two dozen Republican-led states have filed lawsuits against President Joe Biden's company vaccine mandates.
Critics have taken aim at some aspects of the requirement, including that it was adopted as an emergency measure rather than after the agency's regular rule-making process. In a statement, Miller said he was filing at the behest of Governor Kim Reynolds, a Republican:"It is my duty, under the law, to prosecute or defend any actions in court when requested by the governor," he said in a statement.
