The Florida House on April 28 approved a bill that would set in law Gov. Ron DeSantis’s executive order banning so-called vaccine passports, credentials that could take the form of an app or a physical document that indicates whether someone has been inoculated against the CCP virus, which causes the disease COVID-19.
Lawmakers voted 76–40 to approve the vaccine passport ban as part of a broader emergency bill, called SB 2006, which includes provisions around authorizing emergency funding and limiting local emergency orders, and while seeking to “minimize the negative effects of an extended emergency,” such as those associated with school and business closures.
