Indiana’s business community is getting mandate pressure from every direction. On the federal side, the Biden administration wants to require employers with 100 or more employees to implement full vaccination or weekly testing. At the state level, legislative leaders are attempting to restrict businesses’ ability to require the COVID-19 vaccine for employees if they choose.
Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar discusses the status of both efforts. Regarding the state proposal, he relays the daunting prospects of employers footing the bill for testing unvaccinated employees and other concerning aspects.
Brinegar also uses his vast experience at the Statehouse to put in perspective the public hearing that was held on November 23 and offers thoughts about what might happen when the General Assembly takes up its bill in January.
