   'Vaccine passports': What are they and how do they work?   
   As more Americans receive the COVID-19 vaccine, the debate about “vaccine   
   passports” has emerged. Here’s what you should know. By Josh Bell   
   TALLAHASSEE   
      
   Florida businesses and governments that require proof of COVID-19 vaccination   
   from customers or members of the public will soon face $5,000 fines,   
   according to a new Department of Health rule.   
      
   Earlier this year, the Republican-led Florida Legislature passed a bill, SB   
   2006, banning businesses, governments and schools from requiring “vaccine   
   passports” — essentially proof that people seeking their services have gotten   
   a COVID-19 vaccine. In May, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed that bill into law. The   
   legislation allowed the state’s Department of Health to issue fines “not to   
   exceed $5,000 per violation.”   
      
   On Aug. 27, the department filed a rule that lays out how it will enforce the   
   measure. Businesses, governments and schools will be fined $5,000 “per   
   individual and separate violation,” the rule states. That’s the maximum   
   penalty allowed by law.   
      
   Violators will be issued a notice of their infraction, and they’ll have a   
   chance to appeal their fines, the rule says. Once a fine is finalized,   
   entities will have 30 days to pay it.   
      
   The rule will go into effect Sept. 16.
