Here's @AshleyMoodyFL amicus brief that argues why SB 2006 blocks local governments from requiring employees to get vaccines. myfloridalegal.com/webfiles.nsf/W…

Here's what the law says - "A governmental entity as defined in s. 768.38 may not require persons to provide any documentation certifying COVID-19 vaccination or post-infection recovery to gain access to, entry upon, or service from the governmental entity’s operations."

This section is included in the same part of bill that bars businesses from requiring so-called "vaccine passports." The section is below the part that says businesses cannot require vaccine documentation of customers

Moody brief: City "policy operates to deny employees 'access to' the city’s “operations,” in violation of that (law) The term “operations” is broad enough to include the hiring and firing of city employees...term “persons”
is sufficiently capacious to include City employees."

Will let the lawyers debate legislative intent & whether the words cited by Moody = the words on the written page, which is usually what judges say they are bound to. Caveat is whether there is case law to back up amicus. Not many citations in brief
