A special announcement about the show.
Updating the Buy American Act?
A new rule is being proposed by the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council in response to Executive Order 14005 from January. If enacted, this rule would update the Buy American Act with new requirements that must be met by federal contractors and their downstream sub-contractors. Amy Hoang from the law firm of K&L Gates tells us what all of this means to our critical products and supply chains. Special thanks to our sponsor Nota.
DOJ’s Vaccine Mandate
The Department of Justice opines that vaccine mandates in the workplace are legal. But with States pushing back, where does that leave things for employers and employees? Natalie Fluker and Bob Simandl from the law firm of von Briesen & Roper join us to answer that question plus more. Special thanks to our sponsor Nota.
CDC’s Mask Reversal for the Vaccinated
New CDC guidelines now recommend that people vaccinated for COVID-19 wear masks indoors. Given this reversal in policy and that States are pushing back against mandates, where does that leave the rest of us? Robert Shimberg from the law firm of Hill Ward Henderson joins us to law-splain. Special thanks to our sponsor Nota.
Election Integrity vs. Voting Rights
Integrity of our elections is very important but so is protecting voting rights. States are rapidly trying to update their election laws to prevent fraud but the Federal Government is concerned voters will be left out. How does this get resolved? Professor Rick Hasen from the University of California, Irvine School of Law returns to walk us through. Special thanks to our sponsor Nota.
