Florida lawmakers pass bill giving governor power to label groups as terrorist, sparking free speech and transparency concerns.
Florida lawmakers have passed HB 1471, granting Governor Ron DeSantis and the Cabinet authority to designate domestic groups as terrorist organizations, sending it to him for signature.
The bill, backed by Republicans and aligned with DeSantis’ earlier executive order targeting Islamic groups, allows for student expulsion if they promote such organizations under specific conditions and bars state funding for affiliated schools.
Critics, including civil rights groups and Democrats, warn it threatens free speech, lacks due process, and could enable political or religious targeting.
A related measure limits public access to designation records, raising transparency concerns.
The move follows a federal judge blocking DeSantis’ original order over constitutional issues.
