“Senate Republicans are challenging the overreach of federal power that is President Biden’s vaccine-or-test mandate for private businesses,” said Sen. Mike Braun, “and I urge the Senate to vote in favor of this disapproval resolution when it comes to the floor for a filibuster-proof, simple-majority vote as soon as early December. Republicans are united against President Biden’s vaccine-or-test mandate for businesses, but this federal overreach is not a partisan issue, and the consequences of this mandate are affecting Americans in all 50 states.”
The following groups representing American employees and employers are supporting the Senators’ efforts:
- National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW)
- Plastics Pipe Institute
- Concerned Women for America LAC
- National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association
- American Commitment
- Associated General Contractors of America
- National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA)
- Distribution Contractors Association
- Power and Communication Contractors Association (PCCA)
- American Pipeline Contractors Association (APCA)
- National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB)
- National Retail Federation
The Congressional Review Act is the official process for Congress to eliminate an executive branch rule. The resolution has been received by the Senate and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP).
This move to overturn President Biden’s vaccine or test mandate for private employers is guaranteed a vote on the Senate floor. The rule was transmitted to the Senate on Tuesday, with the disapproval resolution introduced on Wednesday, setting up a floor vote as soon as early December.
