The state of Florida has fined a county more than $3 million for allegedly violating a law that bans entities from requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination.

Leon County was fined for 714 instances of violating the law, the Florida Department of Health announced on Oct. 12. The law in question, passed earlier this year, forbids any business, government entity, or educational institution from requiring so-called vaccine passports, or proof of vaccination.
