Bizarre. Is there any chance of it actually being enacted? |
Well, this is the
Florida lege and guv we're talking about. ... Yes.
Items 3 and 6 seem sufficiently murky and contradictory that the bill, if passed as written, could be found unconstitutional.
I'm just glad this is Florida. That lets Texas off the hook for awhile. Our lege is too busy trying to rewrite Houston traffic laws or fund schools with gambling and taxes on nudey bars to get involved in such nonsense.
