No Vaccine Mandates in Higher Education Act

# No Vaccine Mandates in Higher Education Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would prohibit colleges and universities that receive federal funding from requiring students or employees to be vaccinated against any disease as a condition of attendance or employment. If passed, schools receiving federal financial aid would lose that funding if they impose vaccine mandates. The legislation applies broadly to all vaccines, not just COVID-19 vaccines. **Who It Affects:** The bill would impact college students, faculty, and staff at institutions receiving federal funding (which includes most accredited universities).

It would also affect the schools themselves, as they would face losing federal funding—including student aid, research grants, and other support—if they maintain vaccination requirements. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not been voted on by the full House of Representatives. As of this summary, it remains in the early legislative stage.
