(Indianapolis, IN) - Indiana's Governor and Attorney General are picking a fight with the federal government over vaccine mandates.

On Thursday, Attorney General Todd Rokita announced three lawsuits against the Biden administration.

At the behest of Governor Eric Holcomb, Rokita is challenging the new OSHA mandate for companies with 100 employees or more to require COVID-19 vaccination by January 4 or conduct weekly testing.

Holcomb called the mandate "an overreach of the government's role in serving and protecting Hoosiers."

Indiana is filing two similar lawsuits with other states challenging vaccine mandates for federal contractors and healthcare workers.
