/ House Minority Leader Evan Jenne, D-Hollywood, has served in the state legislature for about 13 years. Democratic state legislative leaders are speaking out against Gov. Ron DeSantis’s decision to lift local rules requiring mask-wearing and social distancing and a GOP-backed ban on businesses requiring vaccination proof. After DeSantis declared local coronavirus-related restrictions "void," House Democratic Party caucus members blasted the decision during a call with reporters. House Minority Leader Evan Jenne said the move is "probably premature." Cities and counties across the state have enacted mask-wearing requirements, capacity restrictions and curfews to curb the spread of the coronavirus. DeSantis issued an executive order after signing a bill placing further restrictions on local governments' ability to enact pandemic-related policies.
