Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday announced that he will have legislators conduct a special session to address reforms to state law that would impose penalties on employers and local officials that mandate masks or COVID-19 vaccines.

In a proclamation (pdf), the Republican governor made a special call to ban vaccine mandates and said that legislators should pass a law prohibiting businesses, schools, and governments to force people to show proof of vaccination before entering.
