Mr. Wager said his own company had not decided what to do yet, but would probably demand that anyone coming back be vaccinated.

Lawmakers voted, 25-18, to sideline the measure for the rest of the year, even though supporters said it was necessary to ensure that all plants are keeping their employees safe.
