Florida Will Fine Any Business Or School $5,000 Each Time It Requires A “Vaccine Passport”
Florida | May 3, 2021
Setting a great example again, Florida passed Senate Bill 2006 in a 76-40 vote which will fine any business or school $5,000 each time it requires a “vaccine passport.” The bill, which is being sent to Governor Ron DeSantis’ desk, would protect citizens from being asked for proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Sponsored by Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills, SB 2006 was passed by the Senate on April 22 in a 27-9 vote.
The 49-page SB 2006 amends the state’s Emergency Management Act to place limits on local emergency powers and installs fines for businesses or institutions that require vaccine documentation. The relatively technical amendment added Wednesday clarifies COVID-19 screening protocols.
Under SB 2006, violating the state’s vaccine passport ban would be punishable by fines up to $5,000 per violation.
