Governor DeSantis Signs Legislation
Providing Hurricane Relief and Stabilizing Florida’s Property
Insurance Market
On Friday,
Governor DeSantis signed Senate Bill (SB) 4-A which provides $750
million for additional disaster relief to Floridians following
Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. The Governor also signed SB 2-A, the most
significant property insurance reform bill in recent history which
helps to stabilize our property insurance market, increase competition
and strengthen consumer protections.
- SB 4-A,
Disaster Relief, provides property tax relief for homes rendered
uninhabitable due to the storm. Additionally, the bill provides $750
million for the communities impacted by Hurricanes Ian and
Nicole.
-
SB 2-A,
Property Insurance, is the most significant property insurance reform
bill in recent history, strengthening Florida’s property insurance
market.
These bills
built upon previous actions taken by the Governor on property
insurance including signing
House Bill 7065 in 2019 to curtail Assignment of Benefit abuse
and SB
76 in 2021 which restructured litigation rules for insurance
claims to reduce the burden of excessive litigation.

Governor DeSantis
Launches Covid Vaccine Investigations
Governor DeSantis held a roundtable discussion
Tuesday with Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and world-renowned
physicians, researchers and public health experts to discuss adverse
events of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
At the end of the roundtable, Governor DeSantis
announced three aggressive actions to hold the federal government and
Big Pharma accountable:
- Establishing the Public Health Integrity
Committee overseen by the Florida Surgeon General to assess
federal public health recommendations to ensure that the state’s
public health policies fit Florida’s communities and
priorities.
- Filing a petition with the Florida Supreme Court
for a Statewide Grand Jury to investigate crimes and
wrongdoing committed against Floridians related to the COVID-19
vaccine.
- Creating a monitoring system for
autopsies of individuals that received the COVID-19 vaccine
in Florida and died within 20 days.
The Biden Administration and pharmaceutical
corporations continue to push widespread distribution of mRNA vaccines
on the public, including children as young as six months old, through
relentless propaganda while ignoring real-life adverse events.

success both in school and in life, and in Florida we are proud to
protect parents’ right to be involved in a child’s education,”
Governor DeSantis said.

AG Moody Calls on Apple
and Google to Change TikTok Age Rating
Attorney General Moody called on Apple and Google
Wednesday to take immediate action and correct the app store age
ratings of TikTok by the end of the year. Attorney General Moody and
14 other state attorneys general said that the change will help
parents protect their children from being exposed to harmful content
online.
“While our investigation into TikTok continues,
it is important that action is taken now to better protect children
from harmful content they might encounter on this China-owned social
media platform,” Attorney General Moody said. “If TikTok isn’t banned
outright, app stores should at the very least increase the age rating
on the TikTok app to ensure parents know that this social media
platform is not appropriate for users under the age of 17.”
