    Desantis Executive Order

    Uploaded by

    Michael Knauff
    This executive order from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis invalidates all remaining local emergency orders related to COVID-19 in Florida. It finds that communities lack justification for continuing COVID restrictions given Florida's vaccination efforts. The order takes effect on July 1, 2021 and invalidates prior COVID emergency orders enacted by political subdivisions as defined in SB 2006. Nothing prohibits local governments from enacting regular ordinances to protect health and safety.

    STATE OF FLORIDA

    OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR


    EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 21-101
    (Invalidating All Remaining Local Emergency Orders Based on the COVID-19 Emergency)

    WHEREAS, on March 9, 2020, I issued Executive Order 20-52, subsequently extended,

    declaring a state of emergency for the entire State of Florida as a result of COVJD-19; and

    WHEREAS, the State of Florida led the national effort to distribute COVID-19 vaccines

    to seniors first and has now provided vaccines to nearly 9 million people; and

    WHEREAS, every Floridian who desired a vaccine is eligible to obtain one, and Florida

    now maintains a sufficient supply of COVID-19 vaccines for every eligible Floridian who desires

    a vaccine to be vaccinated; and

    WHEREAS, scientific studies show that vaccines protect individuals from COVID-19 and

    reduce hospitalizations and deaths caused by COVID-19; and

    WHEREAS, on April 29, 2021 , Surgeon General Dr. Scott Rivkees issued a Public Health

    Advisory (1) stating that continuing COVID-19 restrictions on individuals, including long-term

    use offace coverings and withdrawal from social and recreational gatherings, pose a risk ofadverse

    and unintended consequences, (2) further expanding vaccine eligibility, and (3) advising

    government offices to resume in-person operations and services; and

    WHEREAS, due to the tremendous steps the State has taken to protect Florida' s most

    vulnerable populations and rapidly offer vaccines to every eligible Floridian who desires one, local

    communities lack justification in continuing to impose COVID-related emergency orders

    restricting the rights and liberties of their citizens; and


    WHEREAS, on May 3, 2021 , I signed into law SB 2006 - Emergency Management -

    which provides, effective July 1, 2021, that any emergency order issued by a political subdivision

    must be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling public health or safety purpose, must be limited

    in duration, applicability, and scope in order to reduce any infringement on individual rights or

    liberties to the greatest extent possible, and may be invalidated by the Governor, at any time, ifthe

    Governor determines that such order unnecessarily restricts individual rights or liberties; and

    WHEREAS, it is my determination that the remaining emergency orders issued by the

    political subdivisions of this State due to the COVID-19 emergency are not narrowly tailored to

    serve a public health or safety purpose and unnecessarily restrict individual rights and liberties,

    including the economic and commercial rights and liberties of business owners in this State; and

    NOW, THEREFORE, I, RON DESANTIS, as Governor of Florida, by virtue of the

    authority vested in me by Article IV, Section I (a) of the Florida Constitution and by the Florida

    Emergency Management Act, as amended, and all other applicable laws, promulgate the following

    Executive Order:

    Section 1. In order to protect the rights and liberties of individuals in this State and to

    accelerate the State's recovery from the COVID-19 emergency, any emergency order issued by a

    political subdivision due to the COVID-19 emergency which restricts the rights or liberties of

    individuals or their businesses is invalidated.

    Section 2. Nothing herein prohibits a political subdivision of the State from enacting

    ordinances pursuant to regular enactment procedures to protect the health, safety, and welfare of

    its local population. Only the COVID- 19 emergency orders, as defined in SB 2006, enacted prior

    to July I, 2021 , are hereby invalidated.


    Section 3. This order is effective beginning on July 1, 2021 and shall be immediately filed

    with the Division of Administrative Hearings.

    IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set


    my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of
    Florida to be xed, at Tallahassee .
    May, 20
