Department of Labor (DOL) responded quickly to the court action. TheВ appeals court granted the emergency stay stopping enforcement of the new policies, saying they raise 'grave statutory and constitutional issues,' and added that the rule was suspended 'pending further action by this court.' The court issued the ruling after a range of lawsuits were filed in states across the country challenging the policy.
