To prohibit the provision of Federal funds to a local educational agency that imposes or enforces a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on students at the schools served by such agency.

This bill prohibits a local educational agency (LEA) from receiving federal funds if the LEA imposes or enforces a COVID-19 vaccine requirement on students at public elementary and secondary schools under the jurisdiction of the LEA.

Bill 117 HR 9280, also known as the "Prohibition of Federal Funds for COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates in Schools Act," aims to prevent local educational agencies from receiving federal funds if they impose or enforce a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on students. The bill specifically targets schools served by these agencies and seeks to protect students from being required to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

The bill is designed to ensure that local educational agencies do not infringe upon the rights of students and their families when it comes to vaccination decisions. By prohibiting the use of federal funds for schools that enforce COVID-19 vaccine mandates, the bill aims to uphold individual freedoms and prevent any potential overreach by educational institutions.

If passed, this legislation would have significant implications for schools that have implemented or are considering implementing COVID-19 vaccine mandates. It would force these schools to reconsider their policies and potentially face financial consequences for enforcing such mandates. Overall, Bill 117 HR 9280 raises important questions about the balance between public health measures and individual rights, particularly in the context of educational settings. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on schools and students across the country.
