In a significant legislative push, Florida lawmakers have passed several bills aimed at addressing various social and legal issues. Among the measures approved are a bill targeting retail theft, which Governor Ron DeSantis has labeled an "anti-California" initiative, and another bill aimed at loosening labor restrictions for teenagers. Additionally, legislation has been passed to increase penalties for juvenile firearm offenders and to ban minors under 14 from using social media. The state's efforts to regulate vape products have also seen progress, with a new bill approved to combat electronic cigarette manufacturers and sellers targeting children, involving Attorney General Ashley Moody. Furthermore, a bill has been passed to address the issue of illegal aliens committing crimes after re-entry. These legislative actions reflect a broad spectrum of concerns, from labor laws and juvenile justice to online safety and immigration. Rachel Michelin of the California Retailer’s Association has addressed the retail theft issue, highlighting its impact on businesses.
