Florida lawmakers move forward on vaccine mandate bills

[Zorro]

Democrats said this week is just “theater” for Gov. Ron DeSantis.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida lawmakers advanced multiple bills limiting mask and vaccine mandates during the first day of a contentious special session of the state Legislature requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Committees in the Republican-controlled House and Senate voted for bills that would require private employers to accommodate employees who do not want to be vaccinated and, eventually, swap federal oversight of workplace safety for state oversight.

“I firmly believe we’re on the right side of history and of science,” said Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills.

Although state lawmakers were not supposed to return to Tallahassee to pass bills until January, DeSantis called them back early to resist a proposed federal rule by President Joe Biden’s administration that would require companies with more than 100 employees to require their employees be vaccinated. The special legislative session is expected to end on Wednesday or Thursday.
