The measure allows the governor to override local orders during a health crisis and puts a permanent ban on vaccine "passports."

The CDC released a letter that outlines guidance, along with a potential restart date for cruises departing from U.S ports this summer.

Tuesday's order signed by the governor says the state should prepare to resume "non-emergency operations" after it expires in two months.

The governor on Monday said the recent actions by YouTube underscore why the Legislature needs to take action against so-called “big tech.”

The lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Tampa, asks a federal judge to lift restrictions imposed by the CDC that have idled cruise ships in the U.S. for more than a year because of the pandemic.

The Republican governor got the Johnson & Johnson shot, which requires only a single dose, sometime last week.

The governor called the CBS report "lies built on lies" and warned of unspecified “consequences."

Proof of vaccinations for crew and passengers is now a requirement in most cruise lines' safety plans. Mandatory vaccinations on cruise ships also aligns with federally recommended protocols.

The order directs state agencies to “work to ensure businesses comply.” Moreover, it precludes businesses that violate the order from qualifying for grants or contracts funded with state tax dollars.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida should receive more than 300,000 one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccines, even despite factory delays.
