PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg announced today that he
will be bringing litigation on behalf of the State of South Dakota, along with the state of
Missouri and a coalition of other states, to halt the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate on
private employers. Ravnsborg plans to file suit first thing tomorrow morning when OSHA’s
Emergency Temporary Standard” (ETS) is officially published in the federal register:
“This is an excessive burden to place on the businesses and citizens of South Dakota,” said
Ravnsborg. “It is our belief that the federal government does not have the authority to
unilaterally force private employers to mandate their employees get vaccinated or foot the bill
for weekly testing.”
