A companion bill, backed by all 50 Republican Senators, has also been introduced in the Senate.\n\nThe Biden administration recently released details on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\u2019s (OSHA) Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) mandating vaccination requirements for employees at private businesses with more than 100 employees. The rule will affect more than 80 million Americans and impose $14,000 fines for persons who do not comply.\n\nBill text for the Congressional Review Act can be found here.\n\nCongressman Higgins issued the following statement:\n\n\u201cBiden\u2019s vaccine mandate is an unconstitutional abuse of executive authority. Patriots in Congress are fighting back\u2026 legally, peacefully, and within the parameters of the Constitution. We oppose this government oppression and will continue to challenge the federal vaccine mandate with legislation and in federal courts across America.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:30:49Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://clayhiggins.house.gov/2021/11/17/higgins-cosponsors-resolution-striking-down-bidens-vaccine-mandate/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9001651778817177, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
