DeSantis Will Hold a Special Session in Florida to Block Vaccine Mandates
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) will convene a special session of the state legislature starting Monday to pass bills aimed at blocking COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
DeSantis called the special session on Oct. 21 to ban the mandates being pursued by the Biden administration, which he framed as an effort to protect unvaccinated employees.
According to The Washington Post, four bills are under consideration that would increase the fines for businesses, local governments and other companies that require workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as well as schools that require mask wearing.
