WHERE'S RON? - Nothing official announced for Gov.
It’s also relevant if the governor is bending the law to fit his political motives. Why this is important - The question of legislative intent is one that becomes relevant if the battle between the DeSantis administration and Leon County winds up in court. Without having looked at it I can’t exactly weigh in on it.” “We all know the devil is in the details. “I haven’t read the language in months,” he said, and added “If saying that, I would defer to them.” When pressed about it since he was the sponsor Burgess agreed the “primary mission” was to go after vaccine documentation. Danny Burgess, who was the prime sponsor of the vaccine passport bill, also similarly sidestepped whether he thought his legislation included ban on vaccine mandates. As for local governments, he said, “we couldn’t allow local government to limit people who were trying to interact with their government from entering the building.” So what about vaccine mandates for government workers?

Legislative intent? - House Speaker Chris Sprowls said on Tuesday that legislators passed the bill because they found it “appalling” that sports venues and entertainment outlets would ask for vaccine documentation before people could attend events.

Here’s the problem - Top Republicans who backed the law are refusing to endorse this novel legal interpretation by the DeSantis administration. Ron DeSantis and his administration used a law passed last spring by the Florida Legislature to levy a $3.57 million fine against Leon County because local officials imposed a vaccine requirement on county employees.
