Florida releases list of potential "vaccine passport" violators - South Florida Sun Sentinel

Potential violators of Florida’s COVID “vaccine passport” law include the Miami Marlins, the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach, the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, several concert venues and performers, and an FDLE counterterrorism unit.

Cruise ship companies also are under investigation despite a federal court order that has prevented enforcement of the law against Norwegian Cruise Lines.

The 120 groups under investigation were identified in a list released by the the Department of Health in response to a public records request by the Orlando Sentinel.

Other government agencies under review include the Alachua County Public Library and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s counterterrorism squad in Jacksonville.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the controversial law, which is being disputed in court. It prevents businesses and governments from requiring customers to show proof of COVID vaccination. The health department is responsible for enforcing the $5,000 per violation fine that went into effect Sept. 16.

Health department rules call for a notice of violation to be issued, which will include the right to a hearing before an administrative law judge. The fines would be due to the department within 30 days of a final order.

Major large companies have mandated vaccines for employees, but not customers. Others on the list include large companies like AT&T and Northrop Grumman and tiny firms such as Skydive DeLand.

Despite being under review, the cruise ship business is not expected to immediately face fines after a federal judge granted a temporary injunction halting enforcement in a lawsuit brought by Norwegian Cruise Line. The governor’s press secretary Christina Pushaw has said the state would not enforce the law for the cruise industry until a decision is made on the injunction.

The Florida law is in direct conflict with President Biden’s order that companies with more than 100 employees require their workers to be vaccinated or face weekly testing for the coronavirus. Specific rules for that mandate have yet to be released.

Here is the list of governments, businesses and organizations under review as released by the Department of Health. It is not clear why some entries are listed more than once, and some may be incomplete.
