(Des Moines, IA) Republican legislative leaders and Governor Kim Reynolds say the state should wait for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on federal COVID-19 vaccination mandates before considering state action on the issue. The governor predicts the Supreme Court will rule quickly on whether businesses with 100 or more employees will have to ensure their workers are vaccinated or tested regularly. Some Republican lawmakers are proposing a statewide ban on COVID-19 mandates in the workplace. The U-S Supreme Court has upheld state vaccine mandates but has not yet ruled on any issued by the Biden Administration.
