Iowa Is Defying Biden's OSHA Vaccine Mandate, Regardless of What SCOTUS Decides | Townhall (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/scottmorefield/2022/01/09/this-state-is-defying-bidens-osha-vaccine-mandate-regardless-of-what-scotus-decides-n2601621)
Iowa, one of 22 states with its own OSHA-approved plan that covers both private and government workers, submitted notice Friday that it will neither adopt nor enforce the vaccine mandate, which requires weekly testing and mask-wearing for all non-vaccinated employees.
THIS is how federalism is done!
The Des Moines Register (https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/2022/01/07/covid-iowa-employers-employees-dont-need-comply-federal-vaccine-mandate/9139061002/) reported:
“Iowa Labor Commissioner Rod Roberts said in a news release that the state has determined its existing standards ‘are at least as effective as the federal standard change.’
Iowa is among 21 states that have an individual state plan for workplace safety, which gives the state the option of writing its own workplace rules for public and private sector workers. But those rules can’t be weaker than what the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires.
‘Iowa doesn’t have a standard requiring the COVID-19 vaccine or testing. But after closely reviewing the federal OSHA Vaccine Mandate, Iowa has determined it will not adopt the federal standard,’ Roberts said.”
These are the 22 states (https://www.oshamanual.com/compliance101/article/which-states-have-unique-state-osha-plans) that that administer their own plans:
Alaska
