DeSantis’ plan to reward out-of-state officers and ban employer mandates comes after Florida has already enacted a “vaccine passport” ban that bars private businesses, educational institutions and local governments from demanding proof of Covid-19 vaccination from customers or government employees. The mass opposition to the mandates has sparked fears existing staffing shortages will become even worse as a result. A number of police unions nationwide have strongly opposed the mandates-and some have filed lawsuits in an attempt to block them-with more than 4,500 police officers in Chicago refusing the mandate and Massachusetts’ police union reporting at least 150 officers have resigned. More than 20 states have implemented Covid-19 vaccine mandates for government workers like police officers, according to NPR, along with a number of major municipalities like Chicago. What To Watch ForĭeSantis said when announcing the special session he hoped it would take place in November, but Florida House Speaker Chris Sprowls said in a memo to lawmakers after DeSantis’ announcement the governor has not yet proposed any specific dates. “NYPD, Minneapolis, Seattle: If you’re not being treated well, we’ll treat you better here, you can fill important needs for us, and we’ll compensate you as a result,” DeSantis said Sunday.
