TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) Florida businesses and governments requiring proof patrons have received a COVID-19 vaccine will soon face $5,000 fines, according to a new Florida Department of Health rule.

The Florida legislature passed Senate Bill 2006earlier this year, banning businesses, governments, and schools from requiring vaccine passports, or proof that people seeking their services received a COVID-19 vaccine.

In May, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law. The legislation allowed the states Department of Health to issue fines not to exceed $5,000 per violation.
On Aug. 27, the department filed a rule that lays out how it will enforce the law. Businesses, governments, and schools will be fined $5,000 per individual and separate violation, the rule states.
According to the rule, violators will receive notice of their infraction and have a chance to appeal the fines. Once finalized, violators will have 30 days to pay.

The rule does not apply to a health care provider, a service provider licensed or certified under s. 393.17, part III of chapter 401, or part IV of chapter 468; or a provider with an active health care clinic exemption.

The new rule spurred criticism from Democrats, including one of DeSantis challengers in next years governors race, Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried.

Once again, Governor DeSantis is retaliating against Floridians who are trying to protect themselves and their communities from COVID-19," said Fried.

"This time, hes fining businesses and individuals $5,000 per violation for requiring proof of vaccination. Let me be clear, this not only goes against common sense its also an insult to the free market principles that he claims to champion. Hes made it abundantly clear that hes more interested in retaliating against Floridians who are trying to do the right thing than he is in stopping the spread of COVID or supporting local businesses.

Should old people actually want the vaccine? They are the ones with a higher chance of dying from covid.
