With the help of GOP supermajorities in the statehouse, the Republican has been able to push through an aggressive agenda during the legislative session.
FILE - Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis arrives at the Foreign Office to visit Britain's Foreign Secretary in London, Friday, April 28, 2023. DeSantis is slated to headline Iowa Rep. Randy Feenstras annual summer fundraiser in northwest Iowa on May 13 and is expected to speak at a party fundraiser later that evening in Cedar Rapids.
Critics, including some Republicans, have slammed the six week law as extreme, given that most women do not even realize they are pregnant in that timeframe.The DeSantis administration has expanded the controversial law critics call “Don't Say Gay" to cover all grades, banning classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in schools.
DeSantis' education officials have said the policy is intended to make clear that teachers should adhere to state education curriculum.The bill, which passed this week, also bars school employees from asking students what pronoun they use and bans staffers from sharing their pronouns with students if the pronoun does not correspond with the staffer's sex.
The change came in response to a verdict that spared the life of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter, who killed 17 people in 2018., despite a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that banned capital punishment in such cases. The new law will allow anyone who can legally own a gun in Florida to carry one without a permit. It means training and a background check will not be required to carry concealed guns in public. It takes effect July 1.
Still, the governor has boosted the law, releasing a statement that read “Constitutional Carry is in the books” after he signed it into law.Another bill that awaits the governor's signature is one that bans colleges from using state or federal funding for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, aSuch initiatives, sometimes referred to as DEI, have come under increasing criticism from Republicans who argue the programs are racially divisive.
