HR 5903: HERD Act

Having Employees Return to Duty Act or the HERD Act This bill addresses federal employees who comply with Executive Order 14043 (requiring COVID-19 vaccination for federal employees). Specifically, the bill requires each federal agency to require employees who comply with the order to work from their duty station and to work the hours required as of February 15, 2020. The bill's requirement does not apply to immunocompromised employees. Additionally, the bill does not prohibit an agency from implementing different policies at a particular work site if the agency finds that (1) there is substantial transmission of COVID-19 within a community in which such requirements would otherwise be carried out; and (2) implementing those different policies will not degrade the level of service that the agency provides to the public.

HR 5835: Defund Federal Vaccine Mandates Act

The Defund Federal Vaccine Mandates Act would prohibit federal funds from being used to establish, implement, or enforce any requirement that people receive vaccinations. It directly affects federal agencies and programs that rely on federal funding to mandate vaccines, such as those requiring vaccinations for federal employees, contractors, or federally funded services. The key provision is a spending restriction that would block federal money from supporting vaccine mandates, requiring agencies to find alternative funding sources or discontinue such mandates. This bill does not eliminate vaccine mandates but would cut off federal financial support for them.
