LINCOLN - Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts said during a news conference that he plans to fight OSHA in court over the COVID-19 vaccination requirements as soon as the agency reveals them.

The Governor also reiterated his position against vaccination mandates and said during the news conference that he planned to take action against the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to fight those requirements.

“As soon as those rules come out, we will be taking OSHA and anybody else to court to get an injunction and stop what is a huge abuse of federal power to mandate vaccines through these emergency rules,” Ricketts said. Ricketts has cited Nebraska's lack of a vaccine mandate as a reason why potential employees should come work in Nebraska; specifically, nurses as the shortage continues.

Ricketts went on to encourage Nebraskans to get the COVID-19 vaccine, especially for those 40 and older.

Tasked by President Biden to draft vaccination rules for businesses with at least 100 employees, OSHA is expected to roll out its plan any day now.
