The Orlando Sentinel reports:

Speaking to reporters, the governor maintained that Florida won’t exempt cruise lines from a new law, which goes into effect July 1, that imposes a fine of $5,000 for each customer asked to provide proof of a coronavirus vaccination.

“We are going to enforce Florida law,” DeSantis told reporters at the LifeScience Logistics Distribution Center in Lakeland.

“I mean, we have Florida law. We have laws that protect the people and the privacy of our citizens, and we are going to enforce it. In fact, I have no choice but to enforce it.”
