ICYMI: Attorney General Mark Brnovich initiated a civil suit against the city on Tuesday alleging it discriminated against employees in its implementation of a vaccine mandate.
Nicole Ludden Attorney General Mark Brnovich is suing the city of Tucson for mandating its employees get vaccinated against COVID-19 last August, alleging the mandate’s implementation was discriminatory and violated state law.

Unvaccinated employees could be subject to weekly testing requirements, more stringent mask-wearing guidelines, travel restrictions and eligibility restrictions for certain assignments, while vaccinated employees could be rewarded with a floating holiday and restoration of 80 hours of pandemic leave.
Brnovich’s civil complaint alleges the mandate was discriminatory because the city “subjected employees who could not comply with vaccine directives because of sincerely-held religious beliefs and/or disability to discipline,” the complaint says, adding at least 377 employees requested medical exemptions and 352 requested religious accommodations.
