To prohibit the use of certain Federal funds to facilitate mandatory vaccination programs, and for other purposes.
HR 5820 prohibits federal funds from being used to support mandatory state or local COVID-19 vaccination programs. It blocks both direct and indirect use of federal money to enforce such mandates, applying to all states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. The restriction specifically covers vaccines licensed under federal law or authorized for emergency use. This policy change affects how states and localities may use federal funding for public health initiatives involving mandatory vaccinations.
