Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed making permanent existing penalties for companies that require Covid-19 vaccinations for their employees, a move that would defy President Joe Biden's efforts to get the country's workforce inoculated. The proposal would extend indefinitely measures DeSantis signed in 2021 that made Florida the first state to threaten businesses with fines for requiring the vaccine. If approved by state lawmakers, it would be the first state in the country to make such a move.
