Exe. Order: “No COVID Fines or Penalties may be applied toward any individual or business operating in the State of Florida.”
It looks like maybe they can require, but there’d be no teeth in it. No fines if relating to Covid. A business would have to prove it required masks pre-Covid in order to get away with it, is how I read it. If they didn’t require masks before, but do now, then it would be considered a “COVID Fine or Penalty”.
That is what happened where our daughter lives in Weatherford Texas. No one was really requiring mask, there was no local mandate... Only one business was firmly requiring masks. Their business dropped off substantially. They no longer require masks!
