Florida bill to ban COVID mask, vaccine mandates makes progress in House
DeSantis issued executive orders in 2021 that superseded school mask mandates and another that prevented the requirement of vaccine passports by government entities or businesses. | The Florida House is considering a bill that codifies Gov. Ron DeSantis' executive orders that would ban COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates. House Bill 1013 was reported favorably by the House Health & Human Services Committee on Monday and is sponsored by Rep. Phillip Griffitts, R-Panama City Beach. The bill would prohibit business entities, governmental entities and educational institutions from imposing COVID-19 testing, mask and vaccination mandates. ● DeSantis issued executive orders in 2021 that superseded school mask mandates and another that prevented the requirement of vaccine passports by government entities or businesses. In January, the second-term Republican governor said Florida was a "refuge of sanity" during COVID and that he wanted lawmakers to pass reforms related to mandates. When asked to describe what "harm to society" means by state Rep. Lindsay Cross, D-St. Petersburg, which is language within the bill, Griffitts said that it is clear that COVID mandates were not based on freedom. ● "Some of the science we've seen over the last two years has been proven to be false," ." Griffitts said. "A lot of elected officials were asked to be public health experts over the last few years and very few public officials are health experts."
