for businesses meant to fight the spread of COVID-19, the federal government has officially scrapped the proposal.
The decision to withdraw the ruling comes after the court blocked the mandate on Jan. 13. It did allow the rule to go forward for medical facilities that take Medicare or Medicaid payments.The court ruled 6-3 that the rule exceeded the power given to the agency by Congress. "OSHA’s decision provides some much-needed certainty for employers, at least, for now," she said."OSHA left open the possibility of issuing a final rule through the normal rule making process."This rule was estimated to affect as many 84 million employees across the country.
