Florida to allow recently retired law enforcement, health care workers to return to work

ON HERE. ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO ANNOUNCE TODAY IS THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN ABOUT MANPOWER, WHETHER LAW ENFORCEMENT, HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL. YOU COULD HAVE SOMEBODY EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS, AND THEY HAVE TO SELF-ISOLATE, THEIR CONTACTS HAVE TO SELF-ISOLATE. THAT CREATES A MANPOWER ISSUE. I’M ALSO SIGNING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT ALLOWS RECENTLY RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND HEALTH CARE PERSONNEL TO REJOIN THE FIGHT. CURRENT LAW PROHIBITS PERSONNEL RETIRING FROM THE STATE FORCE FROM RETURNING TO FOR SIX MONTHS OF RETIREMENT.
