After a week of deliberations, Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a formal proclamation for the Legislature to convene a special session beginning Monday, Nov. 15, and ending Friday, Nov. 19.

The governor made no bones about what he wants: Bills banning private employer vaccine mandates, fortifying the state’s Parents’ Bill of Rights, disqualifying employers mandating vaccinations from liability protections, allowing those harmed by vaccinations to sue employers, and opting out of federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulation.
