The first bill, HB 1B/SB 2B, sponsored by Rep. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, and Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills, will ban vaccine mandates for local governments. It will also ban mandates for private businesses, unless the companies exempt employees for medical or religious reasons, or if they have a prior COVID-19 infection, or if an employee agrees to regular COVID-19 testing and the wearing of protective equipment, such as a mask.
