Operative words

I direct the establishment of appropriate checkpoints on the roadways for those persons and vehicles entering the State of Florida and to require those persons to provide information, including in a written form, regarding the origin of their travel and on the address of their location of isolation or quarantine for a period of 14 days.... I further direct the Florida Department of Transportation to facilitate locations for appropriate checkpoints, including at welcome centers and rest stops... This section shall not apply to persons performing military, emergency, health or infrastructure response, or persons involved in any commercial activity.

Enforcement

Second-degree misdemeanor under Fla. Stat. § 252.50 (recited in EO 20-82 § 2); Highway Patrol and sheriffs directed to enforce

Notes

Truck traffic was funneled through the same checkpoints and welcome centers; the exception for 'commercial activity' did not spare the stop.
