Tennessee Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III joined with the attorneys general of Ohio and Kentucky to file a lawsuit today challenging the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, asserts that the administration’s vaccination requirement is unlawful and unconstitutional because it violates state sovereignty and was not considered by the U.S. Congress. The attorneys general also argue that the mandate will cause harm to the citizens of their states. Read more about the suit and access the filing on the AG’s website.
