Lawsuit PDF: Occupational Safety and Health Administration Lawsuit

Attorney General Paxton and several allied states and companies sued the Biden Administration for its illegal and unconstitutional vaccine mandate imposed on private businesses. As part of his COVID-19 Action Plan announced in early September, President Biden committed to requiring all private employers in America with 100 or more employers to force their employees to get vaccinated or submit to a weekly testing regime. The Administration has now issued its Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) implementing the mandate through the Department of Labor’s Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA).
