Tennessee Rep. Glen Casada, R-Franklin, and 72 other state House Republicans are calling for a special session in response to President Joe Biden's newly-announced vaccine policy, the Nashville Post reports. The new policy, to be administered by OSHA, requires companies with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccines or test employees for COVID-19 on a weekly basis. Casada said the group wants the session to weigh the options for challenging the plan. In related news, Tennessee’s top officials, including Attorney General Herbert Slatery, are reviewing the requirement, Mainstreet Nashville reports.
