flag Florida lawmakers passed a bill banning local DEI programs and Pride events, awaiting governor’s signature.

flag Florida lawmakers have passed SB 1134, a bill that would ban local governments from funding or promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, including support for LGBTQ+ Pride events. flag The measure, approved 77-37 in the House and 25-11 in the Senate, now awaits Governor Ron DeSantis’ signature. flag If signed, it would allow the governor to remove local officials who support DEI efforts, prohibit DEI offices, and permit citizens to report violations. flag Critics warn the law’s broad language could undermine minority and women-owned business programs, community events, and local autonomy, while supporters argue it prevents ideological overreach and taxpayer waste. flag The law, set to take effect January 1, 2027, reflects ongoing state efforts to restrict DEI programs, following a 2023 ban at public colleges.
