Florida Gov. DeSantis Suspends Local COVID-19 Emergency Orders, Bans Vaccine Passports

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill banning COVID-19 vaccine passports and also announced an executive order that suspends all local pandemic emergency mandates effective July 1.

DeSantis signed Senate Bill 2006, passed by Florida state lawmakers last month granting DeSantis the ability to override local emergency orders. The bill also includes a ban on vaccine passports that would levy fines of $5,000 per violation.

“I’m going to sign the bill. It’s effective July 1. I’ll also sign an executive order pursuant to that bill invalidating all remaining local emergency COVID orders effective on July 1,” the Republican governor said in a news conference in St. Petersburg on Monday. “But then, to bridge the gap between then and now, I’m going to suspend, under my executive power, the local emergency orders as it relates to COVID.”

Describing his executive orders as the “evidence-based thing to do,” DeSantis said that proponents of lockdowns “really are saying you don’t believe in the vaccines, you don’t believe in the data, you don’t believe in the science.” He added: “We’ve embraced the vaccines. We’ve embraced the science on it.”

The order suspending local emergency mandates only affects governments, not businesses.

“In terms of what a supermarket or some of them choose to do, a Disney theme park, this does not deal with that one way or another,” DeSantis said. “It’s simply emergency orders and emergency penalties on individual businesses.”

DeSantis has been a vocal opponent of so-called vaccine passports, saying they would create two classes of vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

“You have a right to participate in society, go to a restaurant, movie, a ballgame, all these things without having to divulge this type of information,” DeSantis said on Monday.

Last week, DeSantis issued an extension for Florida’s state of emergency order for another 60 days.

New York state and some municipalities in California have embraced passport-like systems for sporting events, concerts, and other events. Some European countries and Israel have proposed nationwide passport systems, while Canadian officials have indicated they will institute a vaccine passport program for Canadians planning to leave the country.

“Absolutely,” Canadian Health Minister Patty Hajdu told the CBC in response to a question about such a system being implemented. “First of all, Canadians need to be able to have the right kind of certification for international travel.”

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and other groups have criticized vaccine passport-type systems, saying they would be potentially invasive of individuals’ privacy and would restrict individuals who don’t have smartphones that can display an app showing whether they’re vaccinated or not.

COVID-19 is the illness caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

    I like his philosophical positions, but I do not not like him invalidating local medical control protocols. If the morons in Dade County want to be idiots, let them. It is a conservative principle to believe the best government is the one nearest those governed, and I firmly believe that to be true.

    Big fan of him shitting all over this "passport" garbage. What idiot Dem thought it would be a good idea to separate us based on this medical folly? Can we get an AIDS symbol emblazoned on gays next? Morons.

    Leave it to the Dems.


    Agree. Better to withdraw state funding for county/city lockdown shit, and let them figure it out. Unless there's a local problem that needs to be address, the mayors and county councils will get the message quickly.

    The problem with live and let live is that the other side doesn't believe in it. Just do what is right. So, let's say Dade County has 30% of its population that wants to live. The governor should do what's right for the state which includes people trapped in blue counties. If Dade County wants to ban concealed weapons, just let them because it's a local issue? Not going there. Ban teacher unions, but not in Dade County?

    Let's see. Dems want to take my guns using big government. I don't want the dems to take guns. You want mask mandates. I don't. That's limited government. You suck at this.

    Your argument for DeSantis encroaching on a municipality's right to govern is because he's "doing what's right". Where have we heard that before?

    Odd many don't complain about entire state lockdowns but complain about no lockdowns. I think giving people the right to take the precautions they think are best is the best decision. If you are at risk wear your magic mask and get the not a vaccine. Social distance, be a hermit etc. Dim's don't want you deciding for yourself.

    Federal and state constitutions pre-empt local ordinance. Be better.

    No states followed their own constitutions on the lock downs

    Hope this helps.

    Trump the Dictator refused Federal involvement in the state's response to the pandemic. The states told the local governments to fuck off and get in line

    Pretty sure Westlinn didn't do that

    I was the one that pointed out that most states specifically authorized by legislative statute that governors had the right in emergency situations to issue executive state orders to deal with the emergency for a period of 30 days. Oregon did that. Then Shut Down Kate Brown never went back to legislature. She was sued, but the Oregon Supreme Court (like the vast majority of Courts) ruled that she had an innate ability to extend the emergency period. At this point, Brown's orders in Oregon have no legislative or Constitutional authorization. Scratch a leftist like GRG, find a fascist. The state theoretically has specific limitations on it's powers. But that requires judicial enforcement and leftards can't read.

    He's taking a brave stance.....

    for a guy who already knows where this is going. US Governors - all members of the NWO.

    But at least he'll look good when its forced on Florida by the shuttered USA Corp of London, the Vatican Supremacist Court, and other Nazi US states that will require "Vaccine" Passports to buy and sell, to travel and transit through.

    Politician stumping for a position that no longer exists - CEO of USA Inc.
