Florida legislators are considering state House and Senate civil rights bills that protect residents from discrimination based on their vaccine or immunity status.
The protection would extend to people concerning all vaccines, not just the increasingly controversial COVID shots. Senate Bill 222, sponsored by state Sen. Joe Gruters (R-Fla.), and House Bill 305, sponsored by state Rep. Webster Barnaby (R-Fla.), are identical. This simplifies the likelihood of becoming law if both are approved, Mo van Hoek of Health Freedom Florida, the group pushing adoption of the legislation, told The Epoch Times.
