Governor Ron DeSantis has signed all 20 bills into law, with several measures aimed at strengthening hurricane mitigation, funding red tide research, and combating human trafficking. The governor signed three bills related to the "My Safe Florida" hurricane mitigation program in Pinellas County, just one day after the initial signing.

A bill funding red tide research was signed in Naples. House Bill 197 targets human trafficking in the state, focusing on illicit massage parlors. The law explicitly prohibits sexual activity within massage businesses and offers a public record exemption for certain information, such as emails, phone numbers, and parcel ID numbers.

This exemption aims to reduce title fraud by keeping sensitive information confidential, "except in cases where a court order is issued." House Bill 341... also known as the "Safeguarding American Families Everywhere Act" (SAFE), is related to motor vehicle registration in the state. WKMG has provided further details on these bills... providing insight into the governor's efforts to strengthen state laws and protect citizens.
