Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order May 3 that cancels local government emergency orders related to the coronavirus pandemic before a bill approved by the Florida Legislature doing the same goes into effect July 1.
DeSantis issued the order during a signing ceremony for the bill in St. Petersburg that puts new local limits on the state’s Emergency Management Act, excluding hurricanes, and invalidates city and county face mask mandates, social distancing and other restrictions.
The order also bans the use of “vaccine passports” used to allow inoculated people take part in travel and other activities.
DeSantis said the order is meant to bridge the time gap until the bill becomes law.
