Today, Utah Attorney General Sean D. Reyes had a mixed reaction to the United States Supreme Court rulings on federal vaccine mandates for large businesses and healthcare workers.
In its decisions, the justices ruled to uphold the stay (hold) on the OSHA mandate, affecting businesses with more than 100 employees, but rejected the stay in the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) case involving healthcare workers. The ruling means that employers will be prevented from having to force employees to be vaccinated, while healthcare workers will face a new deadline to comply with the mandate.
Attorney General Reyes issued the following statement upon learning of the Court’s findings:
“The Supreme Court’s rejection of the OSHA mandate is a true victory for all Americans who believe in the rule of law,” said Attorney General Reyes. “There is no workaround when it comes to the Constitution—the federal government cannot dictate its policies where it lacks statutory authority. These liberties are not negotiable.”
Reyes continued: “We are extremely disappointed, however, in the Court’s decision involving healthcare workers. As the four dissenting justices correctly note, a ‘hodgepodge’ of statutes does not authorize the Secretary to force healthcare workers to undergo a medical procedure. And we share the dissenting justices’ concern that this decision will have a lasting negative impact on future agency decision-making.”
“I want to thank all of our sister states who joined us in this fight. Due to the hard work of AG Offices around the country, business owners and millions of their employees are, for now, protected from unprecedented executive overreach. We sympathize with medical workers who deserve to also be protected but will not be after today.”

Utah Attorney General Sean D. Reyes was recognized at historic Lambeau Field as the 2021 Jerry Kramer NFL Child ID Award Man of the Year at a special pre-kickoff award ceremony on Sunday, October 24.
The award was created in the name of Green Bay great and NFL Hall of Fame lineman Jerry Kramer who won multiple championships with the team. The trophy was presented to Reyes by Packers President Mark Murphy and former NFL player and National Director of the Child ID program, Kenny Hansmire, who stated:
“The Utah AG is the hardest working public official I know and embodies the principle of servant leadership. Sean Reyes is a fierce and unrelenting advocate for children and one of the most effective leaders when it comes to protecting America’s youth. He recruited leaders from the private and public sector, convinced them to put aside political differences and united them in this effort.
“The AG has received numerous awards and even a White House Commendation for his work rescuing kids from human trafficking, opioids, suicide, bullying and many other threats. But, this award focuses on his work to protect missing and abducted children.”
Said Reyes: “Jerry Kramer is one of my heroes. To receive this award in his name is one of the great honors of my life. Jerry has been a champion on and off the field. We are hoping to recruit many more champions like him to help us protect America’s kids with tools like the Child ID Kit.”
The Child ID program is over two decades old, but recently underwent a re-launch after several years of transition. Reyes leads the resurgence nationwide, bringing law enforcement, corporations, educators and policy makers together in a bi-partisan effort. Many attorneys general have responsibility for finding missing and abducted children in their respective states.
“Our Child Abduction Response Team (CART) in Utah has one of the most difficult jobs imaginable. Tools like Child ID, give us the best chance to safely recover and reunite children with their families,” commented Reyes.
According to Reyes: “Parents gather the fingerprints, hair samples and other info and keep the kits safely in their homes. They never have to show them to anyone, unless, heaven forbid, their child goes missing. Then, if they choose to share it, every bit of data in the kit can be crucial for us in law enforcement to find their child.”
In Utah, the Child ID program is led by the Attorney General’s Office and sponsored by Vivint Smart Home, Rocky Mountain Power and Johnson & Johnson. It is administered with the help of local Sheriffs, Police Chiefs and schools.
The Child ID program has long been supported by collegiate and NFL coaches, players, owners and organizations including the American Football Coaches Association.
