Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state legislature worked during a special session to create four new state laws prohibiting COVID-19 mandates for employment or school attendance: HB 1B covering COVID-19 Mandates; CS/HB 3B covering protection of private records; HB 5B establishing standards for Florida Occupational Safety and Health State Plan; and HB 7B, governing vaccinations during Public Health Emergencies [LINK]. The special legislative session was called and utilized due to approaching deadlines within the original Biden mandate as outlined by the Dept. of Labor.
Yesterday the state legislature presented the four bills to the governors office. Today Governor DeSantis joined with state Attorney General Ashley Moody and traveled to Brandon, Florida, for a press conference where he signed the bills to protect the rights of workers & students in the state. After the remarks and signing ceremony Governor DeSantis took questions from the media. WATCH (prompted):
Also at the event today, Attorney General Ashley Moody announced that Florida is challenging the CMS rule in court. Read more about that announcement HERE.
The basics of the four bills include:
“Government entities may not…”
In FL, do Fed employees and contractors still have to deal with the EO? Or does this just cover state and local?
Sadly, ( and much, much more than that )
a lot of federal employees are continually being wrongly coerced to accept a questionable vaccine ( via internal federal / departmental communications).
Relief from the wh coercion(s) are heavily desired. It’s gotten down to a few hours to choose unproven jab(s) to keep job..
or
no job ( and legal hassles from uncle Sam, endlessly funded by taxpayer$).
Not good.
( but reduced liberty,
ix miss followers may incorrectly like miss exercising the oppression… )
Similar to the 5th District injunction to hold implementation on private companies,
Will a court issue a Stay, a hold, on implementation to Federal employee’s,
within a day…?
Imho

Their usual m.o. is to gaslight people until they give in to their demands. This way, they entice more fish to jump into the barrel all by themselves, which they then deem “consent.”
These pyrrhic victories induce them to press on, ‘coercing’ their next group of victims in a similar manner.
Don’t jump into the barrel.
In my experience, when push comes to shove they will blink first, because they are full of hot air, and they know the laws do *not* back up mandating medical experiments.
What they are doing is forcing people to ‘consent.’ See the difference? /s
The Feds do *not* have a legal leg to stand on. But who needs laws when they can successfully bluff their way through the Great Reset?
I love the fact that Governor DeSantis went to Brandon, Florida to sign these new laws. Let’s go Brandon!
So did everyone in attendance, judging by the response to his mentioning “Brandon”! I doubt anyone there missed the connection.
It’s epic on his part
Is there a Brandon USA press conference being arranged, too ( to sideline the mandate, federally, nation wide)?
[ the distracting duress
from job miss choice of:
take unproven job,
to continue serving via a job…
or no job ( and goobmunt legal hassles, miss funded by taxpayer$ .. )
for years..
…is ….( un ) healthy…. ]
Imho
p.s.
Plus, there are other proven, and higher quality, healthier treatments..if needed…
Gov explaining why he chose Brandon FL for press conference.
Greg Abbott. You paying attention? Waiting on you, buddy. Let’s go, time’s a-wastin’.
Waiting on Tater (RINO spineless jellybelly) here in MS. He has been worthless so far.
Gov. of Oklahoma seems to be active.
Fired the Head of Oklahoma National guard, for ordering troops to comply with vax mandate, appointed new one who said they DIDN’T have to comply.
DOD is threatening to uncertify them (or whatever its called) so they would be a “State milita”.
Those serving would lose military “standing”, but hey, they would be a “State militia”, which sounds pretty good!
So, we got at least ONE Governor besides Desantis, we only need 48 more. “Federalism” especially extreme federalism, means we need MAGA leaders as Governors, SoS’s, AG’s, and in our Legislatures.
Keeps them out of the Fed Control. That’s why Abbot used Cops not NG.
Don’t hold your breathe. He is not Ron.
Luv it.
Re “✓ Private Employer COVID-19 vaccine mandates are prohibited.
‣ Employees can choose from numerous exemptions, including but not limited to, health or religious concerns; pregnancy or anticipated future pregnancy; and past recovery from COVID-19.
‣ Employees can choose to opt for periodic testing or PPE as an exemption.
‣ Employers must cover the costs of testing and PPE exemptions for employees.”
Question: If “Private Employer COVID-19 vaccine mandates are prohibited;” why are the subsequently listed exemptions, options, etc. needed?
Because he’s selling a bill of goods.
hold on – it’s not a bill of goods – the OSHA emergency standard is currently on hold due to the injunction by the 6th District Court of Appeals BUT, if that is removed by the 5th District Court of Appeals AND affirmed by the Supreme Court then the OSHA rule stands, and no matter what a State does the Federal Agency holds the business responsible. So by forcing the business to accept exemptions he both insulates the business from OSHA tyranny and protects the employee and as far as I know this is the first legislative acknowledgement of naturally acquired immunity, which is huge. Show you have antibodies – get an exemption; check the box for religious objection – get an exemption; provide a doctor’s note – get an exemption; say you are trying to get pregnant – get an exemption. Essentially (to borrow a Oprah-ism) everyone who wants one gets one. And if you don’t want to do that you can still keep you job by getting tested and wearing a mask – employee choice. Key takeaway here is that no employee not working in a Federal government job is forced to participate in the experimental gene therapy drug.
Sometimes you have to be more clever than the tyrant to beat the tyrant and I think this law does that, and don’t overlook the bans imposed on education institutions. Sure we all would like to extend the middle finger to Brandon’s dictates, but if you can’t refuse to follow the Federal rule you have to find a way around it. I think this law does it.
So the new normal is goibg along with illegal federal law but make it more difficult for those who want to follow the illegal law?
And yet, illegals flow across our southern border by the hundreds of thousands to be rewarded with tax payer funded relocation and soon $500,000 per family.
Meanwhile in FL a good Governor signs bills to play the go around game to protect legal citizens from illegal mandates. Mandates that don’t apply to illegals crossing the border.
Yes, that is our country. And, many of our neighbors go along with it.
sickening, isn’t it?
Great point, but they can ignore federal law and be a “vax” sanctuary city. Dems ignore federal laws all day every day. How about legal marijuana? The left started ignoring laws they don’t like… let’s go Brandon!
I don’t know why Ron D would do this, but here’s a possible explanation: There are billions (tens of billions? hundreds of billions?) of dollars associated with Medicaid, Medicare, Defense, Education, etc etc that the Feds can withhold from Florida if they don’t accept OSHA standards.
The REAL solution is to sue OSHA and show that the vaccines are actually MORE HARMFUL and therefore DO NOT PROMOTE SAFETY BUT IN FACT PROMOTE HARM. There is a lot of data to show that.
He is adding exceptions to the MANDATE that everyone has to get the Clot Shot. Now you can refuse.
but does one have to be routinely brain-swabbed (covid pcr test) to keep one’s job? I consider the test to be somewhat invasive.
Yes, this concerns me also. Nobody should be forced to be tested weekly to keep their job either.
The Hill: Trump vs. DeSantis 2024
https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/582043-trump-vs-desantis-let-the-war-games-begin
deSantis schools reporter on conservatism.
Watch.
Let’s go “Brandon” lol
I may have to move to Florida now. I was thinking TN, but Ron is making FL very attractive. Getting out of LA soon.
I didn’t think there would ever be someone besides President Trump who would have the courage to do what’s right for the American people but Gov. DeSantis definitely does.
The worst of times always brings out the best of men–yes, I said MEN!
in BRANDON Florida….LOL !
Double-edged sword … Brandon is in Hillsborough County … Which BTW is also a BLUE County … lol!
In NC we have our own OSHA. Florida should be starting its own too. Keep the federal OSHA out.
Many states have their own version of OSHA. Not sure if the federal OSHA overrides, though.
States can have standards higher than those provided for by OSHA but they cannot have lower standards. Or if they can, the businesses are still required to meet the minimum OSHA standards. At least that was the case back when I was involved with OSHA standards.
Let’s go, Youngkin!
I know you think you’re your own man, but #WeThePeople put you there.
Virginia is MAGA country.
Youngkin better deliver here in Virginia.
Right now, in his radio interviews, our new Attorney General, Jason M is sounding like DeSantis.
Methinks he should have run for governor.
You must be listening to wrva in Richmond. Good channel. Youngkin has to be better than governor blackface but I’m concerned he is not too vocal right now…
Lets go Brandon! Brandon FL the best trolling location!
I work for an institution that calls itself federal when it wants to and then says they are not federal when it suits them. We were told to get the jab by Nov 15th or lose your job. A few people got a religious exemption but most people that did not get the jab lost their job. I work in Florida, and I got the jab. I didn’t want it and put it off until I couldn’t anymore. It made me sick, ran a high fever for 2 days and had a God awful rash break out. Itched like poison ivy and looked like it as well, but it didn’t ooze like poison ivy. Anyway, now they are talking boosters, I don’t want that either. Not sure what these new laws in Fl will do for me, it hoping something stops this. I have talked to a lawyer but not much can be done.
Brandon, Florida…Major League trolling?
DeSantis out Trump’s Trump!
PTrump definitely needs some worthy competition.
notice he says jabs, not vaccine, this is NOT a vaccine, and it is neither safe OR effective.
You must take it but we won’t tell you whats in it!
God bless you Gov. DeSantis.
While the MSM condemns the use of ivermectin, the most populated state in India just declared they are officially COVID free after promoting widespread use of the safe, proven medicine. In addition to this, Ivermectin attaches to covid spikes and prevents them from binding to ACE2. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Anywone wonder by he chose Brandon Florida?
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
Your family pet dog can get a COVID treatment of Ivermectin but the FDA wants all Americans to get the “jab” without treating the disease first. Pfizer & Moderna are laughing all the way to the bank(s).
“Ivermectin” and Pyrantel Pamoate are the two active ingredients present in Heartgard Plus. Ivermectin is a broad spectrum antiparasitic agent that aids in preventing heartworm infection. While Pyrantel Pamoate works in eliminating roundworms and hookworms. When both these ingredients are mixed together, it results in total prevention of heartworms, roundworms and hookworms from the body of dogs and evidently COVID-19.

Just about every day Gov. DeSantis does something like this that makes me even more grateful that that poor excuse for a human Gillium was defeated in the last election.
