Under a bill introduced by Sen. Danny Burgess, R-Zephyrhills, employers must offer a testing alternative and honor certain exemptions.

They say it's Gov. Ron DeSantis' efforts to enhance his standing as a potential 2024 presidential candidate.

A series of bills were released as Gov. Ron DeSantis reiterated what he sees as the need for the session, which will start Monday.

Gov. Ron DeSantis says Florida also will challenge a vaccine mandate that will apply to health care facilities, such as hospitals and nursing homes, that participate in Medicare and Medicaid.

Dozens of Republican state officials are suing over the White House's COVID-19 vaccine mandate that they say is unconstitutional and threatens business.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration said companies that fail to comply could face penalties of nearly $14,000 per violation.

President Joe Biden says the rule will be released “soon,” though he did not give a specific date. Gov. Ron DeSantis says the state will contest it immediately to protect the jobs of Floridians.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the federal agency overseeing workplace safety, is still working out the details but is expected to issue a rule later this fall.

The president outlined a forthcoming federal rule that all businesses with 100 or more employees have to ensure that every worker is either vaccinated for COVID-19 or submit to weekly testing.

The Biden administration included only health workers in its new emergency temporary standard, angering labor advocates who had spent more than a year lobbying for the protections.
