Governor’s (Arkansas) middle ground on the vaccine mandate, Nov 10, 2021:"Hutchinson said the current situation puts employers in a difficult situation of choosing between obeying a state law (which doesn’t include penalties) and obeying a federal rule with fines of up to $13,600 per violation. Federal law, as he noted in a media briefing Thursday, trumps state law. On the other hand, the state law will go into effect in January, while the federal mandate is tied up in court. So whose law do businesses violate? He suspects many will take a wait-and-see approach."

Gov. Gianforte Reaffirms Montana Law Banning Vaccination Mandate, November 16 2021:"“Despite President Biden’s efforts to mandate vaccinations for employers and their employees, Montana law remains the law of the land, and no employer in our state should use President Biden’s OSHA rule, now halted by a federal court, as a basis for imposing illegal vaccination requirements on employees.”
Codified under Montana’s Human Rights Act, House Bill 702 prohibits discrimination based on an individual’s vaccination status. It prohibits an employer from refusing employment, barring a person from employment, or discriminating in any term, condition, or privilege of employment based on vaccination status or whether the person has an immunity passport."
