Trial court vacates rules which expanded exemptions to contraceptive mandate
A recent court ruling vacated the ACA’s 2017 religious and moral exemption rules for contraceptive coverage, meaning most employers with non-grandfathered medical plans can no longer rely on those broad exemptions. Until the issue moves through expected appeals, only a very narrow set of employers qualify for outright exemption, while others with religious objections must follow the established accommodation process or work with legal counsel to determine next steps.
