South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg will be bringing litigation on behalf of the State of South Dakota, along with the state of Missouri and a coalition of other states, to halt the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate on private employers.
In a statement today (Nov. 4, 2021), Ravnsborg says he plans to file suit first thing tomorrow morning when OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard” (ETS) is officially published in the federal register.
He says, “This is an excessive burden to place on the businesses and citizens of South Dakota. It is our belief that the federal government does not have the authority to unilaterally force private employers to mandate their employees get vaccinated or foot the bill for weekly testing.”
So far, other states also signed on to the lawsuit include Arizona, Nebraska, Montana, Arkansas, Iowa, North Dakota, Alaska, New Hampshire and Wyoming.
