Regulatory & Compliance

Click on the headings below to read more on each topic. 

OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard

On Nov. 5, 2021, OSHA issued an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to implement President Biden’s vaccine mandate. Under this rule, companies with 100 or more employees would be required to ensure all employees are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 or otherwise submit weekly negative tests to enter the workplace. On Dec. 17, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit dissolved the Fifth Circuit’s stay on the ETS. While legal challenges are likely to continue, OSHA and the Department of Labor are moving forward with implementation and enforcement.​

Beverage Container Control Law

Iowa's Beverage Containers Control Law, also known as the "Bottle Bill," was implemented in 1979 with the intent to clean up litter by recovering beverage containers for recycling. Iowa's bottle bill deposit law covers all carbonated and alcoholic beverages. Find out more about the redemption process and view documents, forms, and other resource links.
