Should Florida pass HB 1259 (Education) | This bill changes eligibility criteria for charter schools to receive State funds. Adjustment to tax allocations will provide charter schools with $490 million annually of money for capital improvements that is currently assigned to public schools. This legislation would transfer this money to charter schools’ capital outlay starting 2024. | This bill proposes to alter the eligibility requirements for charter schools to obtain State funds, which would result in a redistribution of tax allocations leading to an annual $490 million diverting from public schools to charter schools for capital improvements.

Should Florida pass HB 421 (Driving on the Left) | This bills modifies laws for driving in the furthermost left-hand lane of a roadway. On any road with two or more lanes traveling in the same direction and a speed limit of at least 65 miles per hour, vehicles are prohibited from operating in the left lane unless overtaking/passing another vehicle, when preparing to exit the road, or when directed by an official traffic control device. (Except emergency vehicles.) Moving violation penalties apply. | This bill should not be passed as it imposes unnecessary restrictions on drivers using the left lane. Regardless of the speed limit, drivers should have the freedom to use any lane on a multi-lane road without being subject to differing rules and penalties based on the lane they choose to travel in. Prohibiting vehicles from operating in the left lane unless overtaking is an overly strict regulation that could lead to confusion and potential traffic disruptions. |

Should Florida pass HB 7 (Abortion) | This bill bans abortion after six weeks of gestation, except for physical medical emergencies. Abortions up to 15 weeks are allowed in rape or incest cases, providing the victim submits certain proof. Punishable as a 3rd degree felony (2nd degree in death of the mother). Physicians must report rape or incest of a minor. No telehealth abortion services. No government funds for travel to another state to support an abortion; exceptions for physical medical emergencies. | This bill severely limits a woman's right to choose by restricting abortion to only six weeks of gestation, except in the case of physical medical emergencies. It further encroaches on personal rights by requiring victims of rape or incest to provide certain proof to be allowed abortions up to 15 weeks. The third degree felony punishment for violations seems excessively punitive. Restrictions on telehealth abortion services and lack of government funds for out-of-state abortions, except for physical medical emergencies, could disproportionally affect low-income, rural women. |
Should Florida pass SB 102 (Housing) | Cited as the “Live Local Act,” this bill preempts local governments regarding affordable housing development; deletes local government authority to impose rent control; and extends a tax exemption on developed property meeting affordable housing requirements. It provides $100 million for the Florida Hometown Heroes program, $252 million for the SHIP program, $259 million for the SAIL program, and a $100 million loan program for inflation costs. | Despite being termed as the "Live Local Act", SB 102 could potentially weaken local governments' power on affordable housing developments and remove their ability to impose rent controls. Moreover, it extends tax exemptions to developed properties satisfying affordable housing requisites, which could impact local revenues. Also, even though it provides funds for programs like the Florida Hometown Heroes, the SHIP program, and the SAIL program, the $100 million loan program for inflation costs may not adequately cover the soaring costs amid housing crisis. So, passing this bill might pose undesirable consequences. |
Should Florida pass SB 902 (Safety Standards for Amusement Rides) | Cited as the “Tyre Sampson Act,” this bill increases warning signage to amusement ride patrons; adds department authority to adopt rules for employee training to create a minimum standard; increases reporting requirements for documenting maintenance and changes made to safety and restraints; allows department authority to have 3rd party reviews for testing; adds a requirement that safety sensors cannot be adjusted exceeding maximum tolerance; and allows unannounced visits to verify procedures. | The "Tyre Sampson Act" or SB 902, despite its intentions to enhance safety measures in amusement rides, creates excessive bureaucracy with increased signs, rules, and requirements for documentation and third-party reviews. Furthermore, the bill also intrudes upon the park operations by permitting unannounced visits for verification processes. Thus, Florida should reconsider passing it. |
Should Florida pass SB 106 (Florida Trail Network) | This bill expands the preexisting Shared-Use Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail Network and enhances the trail system to be built within the Florida Wildlife Corridor. The bill increases the recurring (annual) funding of the SUN trail from $25 million to $50 million and provides a one time appropriation of $200 million to construct the SUN trail network in the Corridor. | Passing SB 106, the Florida Trail Network, would not be advisable as it entails a significant hike in annual funding from $25 million to $50 million for the Shared-Use Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail Network. Additionally, it requires a substantial one-time appropriation of $200 million to construct the SUN trail within the Florida Wildlife Corridor. Considering the economic implications, this bill might not be the best allocation of resources at the moment. |
