Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has been teasing an ambitious agenda for the state's legislative session after being reelected as the state's executive by nearly 20 percentage points last year.
The Florida Senate and House are set to open for their 2023 session Tuesday as DeSantis looks to make sweeping changes to school choice, gun laws, immigration screening for private employers, and the requirements for the death penalty.Emboldened by Republican"supermajorities" in the state legislature, DeSantis sees the makeup of the chambers as a"strong mandate" for his policies.
The governor called for"increasing penalties for human smuggling, strengthening statutes for the detention of illegal aliens, requiring universal use of E-Verify, enhancing penalties for document falsification, and prohibiting the issuance by local governments of ID cards to people who are not lawfully in the country" in a press release last month.
The Florida governor is also looking to make reforms to the state's libel law, arguing that media organizations have too much leeway to defame people under current statutes. "Fine, have a supermajority. But you can’t just say one person. So maybe eight out of 12 have to agree? Or something. But we can’t be in a situation where one person can just derail this,” DeSantis said, expressing his frustration with the current system while speaking at the Florida Sheriffs Association Winter Conference in January.
