The governor made the announcement during a Monday morning press conference alongside the mayors of Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe and Palm Beach counties.
“Current law in Florida prohibits personnel that retire from the state workforce from returning from work for six months from the date of retirement,” DeSantis said. “I will suspend that prohibition. We need to have folks who are willing to come return to service.”
