Florida State

An anti-transgender law signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis put the health of 95,000 Floridians at risk–including hundreds of Walt Disney World Resort cast members. In May of 2023, DeSantis signed Senate Bill 254. The law prohibited gender-affirming care for anyone under 18 but also placed strict restrictions on adult transgender health care.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.
