Here are the major laws going into effect in Florida on July 1

Florida has over 200 laws that will take effect on July 1 ranging from immigration to health to education bills that passed through the legislature over the last couple of months. 

Parental Rights and Education Bill

This bill further expands on Florida's law regarding the teachings of gender and sexual identity in schools. The bill prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity from happening in all grades K-12. The bill also limits the way teachers and students can use their preferred pronouns in schools

Florida's new immigration law

Gov Ron DeSantis signed an immigration bill in May that will suspend businesses' licenses if they hire illegal immigrants and funds a program to transport illegal immigrants to other states, among other things.

Tyre Sampson Act

SB 902 - Safety Standards for Amusement Rides. — also known as the Tyre Sampson Act provides new requirements for permanent and temporary amusement rides and requires that each permanent or temporary amusement ride operated for the first time after July 1, 2023, have a ride commissioning and certification report on file with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (department) before the ride’s first inspection and a permit is issued. The bill provides exemptions for certain temporary amusement rides.

Florida's concealed carry law

The new bill allows Florida residents to carry a concealed weapon as long as they follow two requirements. The first is that they carry valid identification while carrying. They also must give their ID to an officer if asked to do so.
