Dozens of laws have been signed by Governor DeSantis in recent months. They touch on migration, health and even adult entertainment.
The concern of various sectors is latent and this afternoon in different parts of the state there were thousands who protested.
This Saturday there are several reasons why they protest.
Since the Governor of the state, Ron de Santis, put his signature on the new laws, those who seek a better future say they feel persecuted.
The first of July came with controversial legislation, including the one that seeks to counteract irregular migration.
Different sectors speak out and ensure that discrimination is rampant “because they don’t know all the details.”
As of today it is also allowed to carry a firearm without a permit, as long as they are concealed.
And while there are still certain places where they can’t be had, such as within a thousand feet of a school, government buildings, courts or airports, the legislation is also a target of backlash.
As of today, the purchase of housing is also restricted to citizens of Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, China, Iran and Syria located less than 10 miles from civil or military infrastructure.
Likewise, from today they reinforce the restrictions in schools to talk about gender identity and sexual orientation until the eighth grade.
Transgender people will also be forced to use the bathrooms of educational institutions according to their gender at birth.
Other voices were heard by the legislation that Republicans call the “Heartbeat Protection Act”, which prohibits boarding after 6 weeks of gestation although for now the law will not take effect until the Supreme Court of the state annuls its previous that had a limit of 15 weeks.
Other laws coming into force are related to the ban on TikTok on devices owned by school districts.
Age verification of workers in adult entertainment companies. More security for fairground attractions.
And the obligation that school districts now have to provide menstrual hygiene products.
There are a total of 149 laws that came into force from today.
There are others that have already been approved by the state governor, but they will be introduced gradually until next October.
