TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – So far, zero bills have been sent to Gov. Ron DeSantis from the Florida Legislature.
However, one of the first bills expected to hit DeSantis’ desk is a measure that would require girls under the age of 18 to get a parent’s permission before having an abortion.
The bill expands on a law that requires parents of minors to be contacted if their daughters get an abortion, but parents don’t have a say in the decision.
Rep. David Smith (R) wants to increase the fine for illegally killing bears or for being in the possession of or selling a dead bear.
A bill trying to put more restrictions on tobacco products is gaining popularity. The measure would raise the age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21, require anyone under 30 to be carded before they can buy tobacco, and would only allow cigarette vending machines in places that restrict access to anyone under 21-years-old.
Lastly, a bill that would make nude beaches legal is being considered by the Senate.
