Federal: HR120

Bill Summary

HR120, the "No Mandates Act," prohibits federal agencies from issuing rules or guidance requiring COVID-19 vaccination and bars proof-of-vaccination requirements for accessing federal property, services, or congressional grounds. The bill also restricts federal funding to entities that mandate COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of service, requiring non-compliant organizations to repay federal funds received through COVID-19 relief packages including the CARES Act, PPP, and American Rescue Plan. The legislation applies broadly to any federal agency under U.S. Code Title 5.

Why It Matters to MAHA

HR120 directly advances core MAHA principles of health freedom and patient autonomy by removing government-imposed vaccine mandates at the federal level. Mandates eliminate individual choice and override personal medical decision-making, which contradicts MAHA's commitment to letting patients and their doctors determine the best course of action. By protecting citizens from coercive federal vaccination requirements and defunding organizations that impose such mandates, this bill restores agency to individuals over their own medical care. This legislation is essential to preventing the normalization of top-down health mandates that restrict freedom of choice.
