To prohibit any entity that receives Federal funds from the COVID relief packages from mandating employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine, and for other purposes.

This bill aims to prevent entities that have received federal funding from various COVID relief packages from imposing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on their employees. It explicitly states that any organization benefiting from these specified federal funds cannot require its workforce to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of employment. Furthermore, the legislation establishes a clear consequence for non-compliance: any entity found in violation of this prohibition will be required to return all federal funds received from the designated COVID relief packages to the Federal Government. The bill precisely defines "COVID relief package" to include significant legislation such as the CARES Act , the Families First Coronavirus Response Act , and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 , among others.
