According to WESH 2 News, DeSantis added, “It’s wrong to kick people out of work. It’s wrong to micromanage business like that.”

DeSantis reportedly said that the legislature will use the special session he called for to propose bills that will strengthen workers’ and parents’ rights.

“No Democrat will help any of these workers” during a special session DeSantis suspected as well.

Lawmakers have announced the legislature plans to consider the state leaving OSHA and setting their own regulations, although there isn’t a clear legal framework on whether or not the state can leave the federal regulatory agency.

Last week, DeSantis announced that Florida would join in on a lawsuit against the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandates.

It was also reported today that DeSantis filed the official paperwork on Friday to run for re-election.
