State law banning employee vaccine requirements being challenged in court

HELENA, Mont. (AP) – Medical providers and Montana residents with compromised immune systems are challenging a state law that prevents employers from mandating vaccines for employees. The Montana Medical Association, private physician groups, a Missoula hospital and five individuals filed the complaint in U.S. District Court in Missoula on Wednesday. They argue the law passed by the Republican led Legislature violates federal requirements for safe workplaces and the right to a clean and healthful environment under the Montana constitution.
