And it's still in place for federal contractors, and it's still in place for states, and it's presumably still in place for private businesses.

The federal contractor mandate is not in place, it was put on hold by the courts and none so far has sided with the Feds. The federal private business mandate is gone, it was quashed by the Supreme Court. What states decide is separate from what the federal government decides and varies from state to state, which is how the system is supposed to work.
