Big day for Florida today!
Unfortunately, it is looking like more bad news than good...
"Floridians face changes in their lives today as wide-ranging laws — leading to more costly loans, alterations in the way tenants can be evicted from rentals, revisions to protections for car buyers and other consumer impacts — take effect.
More than 160 bills passed by the 2013 Legislature become law today, representing nearly 60 percent of the 283 bills passed in the annual session.
One law will keep Florida skies largely drone-free. Cities and counties will be blocked from requiring private businesses to pay workers for sick leave. Floridians with intellectual disabilities will no longer fall under the state classification of “mental retardation.”
Head shops will not be able to sell bongs. Floridians will be banned from dyeing baby rabbits and chicks. The state will lift many restrictions on the daily lives of foster children.
The most significant law taking effect is the new $74 billion state budget."
