FL Gov. DeSantis Signs Into Law Ban on Vaccine Passports, Arbitrary Lockdowns
(Worthy News) – Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation into law on Monday that prohibits private businesses, schools, and government offices from requiring citizens to show proof of vaccination against COVID, a so-called vaccine passport. In addition, the new law prohibits local governments from arbitrarily imposing lockdowns or closing the schools.
“Over the last year we’ve avoided protracted lockdowns and school closures in Florida because I have refused to take the same approach as other lockdown Governors,” said Gov. DeSantis in a press release on Monday. “This legislation ensures that legal safeguards are in place so that local governments cannot arbitrarily close our schools or businesses.
“In Florida, your personal choice regarding vaccinations will be protected and no business or government entity will be able to deny you services based on your decision,” said DeSantis. “I’d like to thank President Simpson, Speaker Sprowls and the Florida Legislature for getting this legislation across the finish line.” [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
