Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, along with Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Congressman Rick Allen (R-Ga.), House Education and Labor Committee Ranking Member Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), and Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks (R-Ind.), led over 130 Representatives and over 40 Senators in filing an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) in the upcoming case considering the Biden Administration’s top-down Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) requiring private workplaces with over 100 employees to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine or require weekly testing.

In the brief, the members argue that Congress did not give OSHA the authority to impose a vaccine mandate and urge SCOTUS to prevent the enforcement of the mandate.

“The Biden Administration’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate imposes government control into the private, medical lives of millions of American citizens,” Stefanik said. “This mandate hurts our nation’s workers, employers, and small businesses and will now rightfully be challenged in the highest court in the land. I am proud to lead my colleagues in standing up for the rule of law against the Biden Administration’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate on private workplaces.”
