Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order on Friday banning state agencies from issuing "vaccine passports."

Local businesses also can't require the vaccine passports, according to the executive order.

On Monday, DeSantis said he opposed the idea as President Joe Biden reportedly pushes for vaccine documentation.

The order requires businesses to comply if they intend to seek state grants and contracts.

"We are not supporting doing any vaccine passports in the state of Florida," he said.
