Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis has signed legislation barring private employers in the state from imposing Covid-19 vaccine mandates on their workers unless generous opt-out provisions are offered.
“Florida is leading,” DeSantis told reporters on Thursday. “This is the strongest piece of legislation that’s been enacted anywhere in the country in this regard.”
The package of bills signed by DeSantis marked the governor’s latest pushback against President Joe Biden, who announced an executive order in September requiring large employers to force their workers to get vaccinated against Covid-19. DeSantis, who earlier this month mocked the president by referring to the “Brandon administration” – alluding to the anti-Biden ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ chants – got another apparent dig in on Thursday by signing the new legislation at a car dealership in Brandon, Florida.
