Here are some Florida laws going into effect July 1

As Gov. Ron DeSantis looks over the final bills on his desk from the 2024 legislative session, several laws are slated to go into effect on July 1.

The Florida governor signed more than 262 bills ranging in topic from heat protections for workers, coverage for skin cancer screenings, property rights and just about anything else one can think of.

H.O.A presidents and egotistical board members are about to lose their marbles today and we’re all here for it. The dude interviewed must be their leader because he already woke up pissed.😂

I see young Latino teenagers working at construction sites as well as with their families cleaning vacation rental homes…people are just trying to survive.

Ok, since these "journalists" won't mention the worst ones, here are some:
1. HB 601: Law Enforcement and Correctional Officers
Civilian oversight boards that investigate misconduct complaints will be stripped of their power, according to this new law.
2. HB 1645: Energy Resources
This bill will ban power-generating wind turbines offshore or near the state’s coastlines. It will boost the expansion of natural gas and reduce regulation on gas pipelines.
Local governments won’t be able to enact some energy policy restrictions and buying fuel-efficient vehicles won’t be a priority for government agencies.
3. House Bill 931: School Chaplains
This law will implement a state-wide school program allowing districts and charter schools to have volunteer chaplains.
4. HB 433: Employment Regulation
This controversial law will ban local government from requiring its contractors to pay higher wages or take extra steps to protect workers from heat exposure.
Local governments will not have to establish policies that aren’t required by law. The governments also cannot require contractors to have work schedules letting workers know in advance when they will have to work.

Good job Desantis! A few law changes Desantis previously made I feel were very good too. No gun permit to conceal carry. Karen must give her name and address to file a complaint.

I would like to see us relax some laws and codes though to help with the housing crisis:

* Remove the minimum dwelling size from sparsely populated areas.
* Allow home owners more freedoms with what they can build on their property without contractors and permits. Let Buyers, Banks and Insurance companies worry about this, why is the Government in the middle of this? People are doing whatever anyways and it's hard to enforce. Code enforcement and fines can go seriously wrong and ruin lives.

[Falconryful]

[robertgray]

Republicans what smaller gov. And less regulation unless it's Florida, then it's just law after law

[econtrolable]

Can we make a law that no new laws can be made.

[motherfromwayback]

They need to be getting rid of laws, not adding more.
These self serving agents are out of control.

Isn't Florida a red State? I thought red States were represented by the GOP? I thought the GOP was the party of small government? Oh, I *see.* They're actually the party of "small government." (The quotes make it "rules for thee [people] but not for me." [big business, corporations, LLCs monopolies, oligarchies, billionaires, and other WASP men of power and influence...])

200 new laws 5min story. Everyone that watches will think they know it all.

How can Florida ban any book, regardless of content, if it doesn't ban the bible first?
