DeSantis signed these yesterday. I see a lot of good. Minus the Emotional Support Animal because when you're in the housing industry you see tons of fraudulent use of that.

Parental Consent (SB404) - Requires girls under 18 to get a parent’s consent before allowing a doctor to perform an abortion.

Drug and Cosmetics Act (SB172) - Prohibits local governments from regulating over-the-counter drugs and cosmetics.

Teacher Pay (HB641) - Raises the minimum base pay for new, full-time teachers to $47,500.

Incarcerated Pregnant Women (HB1259) - Requires a pregnant prisoner placed in restrictive housing to be seen by a qualified healthcare professional at least once every 24hrs and observed by a correctional officer at least once every hour.

Drug Repository Program (HB177) - Enables Florida residents with valid prescriptions who are indigent, uninsured or underinsured to receive donated prescription drugs and supplies.

School Choice (HB7067) - Which expands access to provide financial assistance to families seeking private education.

Emotional Support Animals (SB1084) - Prohibits discrimination in housing provided to a person with a disability or a disability-related need for an emotional support animal.

Elder Abuse Fatality Review (SB400) - Authorizes a state attorney to review closed cases of elder fatalities caused by abuse or neglect by creating an elder abuse fatality review team, composed of volunteer members.
 
Looks good other than the incarcerated pregnant women one. That seems problematic based on the paperwork involved. Once every hour? Seems unnecessary.
 
All fantastic advancements

Teacher pay one is great to attract better people to education but it really screwed veteran teachers. Vets aren’t going to get shit and will now be making basically the same as rookies if they’re around 15 years in or less.
