Bill > HR3044

This bill seeks to prohibit institutions of higher education from mandating COVID-19 vaccines for students or staff by preventing federal funding from being provided to any college or university that requires COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of enrollment, employment, or receiving benefits, services, or contracts. The bill defines "institution of higher education" using the existing definition in section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which typically includes accredited public and private colleges, universities, and other post-secondary educational institutions. By tying the prohibition to federal funding, the bill creates a strong financial disincentive for colleges and universities to maintain COVID-19 vaccine requirements, effectively preventing them from mandating vaccination without directly outlawing such mandates. The legislation aims to give students and staff more choice regarding COVID-19 vaccination in higher education settings by removing institutional leverage to require immunization.
