EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to direct the County Attorney to advertise and bring back for a public hearing an
Ordinance establishing the Collier County Health Freedom Bill of Rights, and to adopt the Collier County
Health Freedom Resolution.
OBJECTIVE: To establish an Ordinance safeguarding the healthcare rights and freedoms of Collier County
residents, and to adopt the Collier County Health Care Freedom Resolution.
CONSIDERATIONS: Numerous County residents have expressed their concerns to the Board of County
Commissioners (“Board”) over the federal government’s and the World Health Organization’s attempts to impose
public health mandates and limit an individual’s healthcare freedoms and rights. This Ordinance seeks to address
the concerns of Collier County residents and prohibit COVID-19 vaccine mandates, mask mandates, quarantines,
vaccine passports, and rejects health directives by the World Health Organization and other international bodies.
The Ordinance also adopts state statutes, which have codified many of these protections, into local law and allows
for Code Enforcement to enforce the Ordinance.
If this item is approved, the proposed ordinance will be advertised and brought back to the Board for a public
hearing.
The Collier County Health Freedom Resolution is intended to create a broader expression of the Board’s position
on these matters, which are not suitable for an ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT: Advertising fees are estimated to be $600. The future fiscal impact is unknown if additional
Code Enforcement staff is necessary to administer.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and
legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To direct the County Attorney to advertise and bring back for a public hearing an
Ordinance establishing the Collier County Health Freedom Bill of Rights, and to adopt the Collier County Health
Freedom Resolution.
