Florida Continues Protecting Children From Radical Ideologies

---

Governor Ron DeSantis signed the “Let Kids Be Kids” bill package yesterday to protect Florida children from medical mutilation, gender ideology in schools, sexually explicit adult performances, and in private spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms.

“Florida is proud to lead the way in standing up for our children,” stated Gov. DeSantis. “As the world goes mad, Florida represents a refuge of sanity and a citadel of normalcy.”

Gov. DeSantis signed a total of five bills into law which the Florida legislature passed overwhelmingly. At the top of the legislative set was SB 254, which makes it a felony offense to provide puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and genital mutilation surgeries to minors. The bill also:

• Requires adults receiving these surgeries and hormones to be informed about the irreversible nature and dangers.
• Grants Florida courts temporary emergency jurisdiction to intervene and halt procedures for out-of-state children.
• Creates a pathway to recover damages for injury or death resulting from mutilating surgeries or experimental puberty blockers given to a minor.
