Governor Scott Signs Legislation to Keep Floridians Safe
Dear Friends,
We made great progress this week in keeping Floridians safe on the road
and in their communities. As a father and grandfather, texting while
driving is a concern I share with many Floridians whose loved ones
travel the roads. The “Texting While Driving” bill that I signed into
law this week will encourage drivers to practice responsible driving
habits and keep our streets safe. In addition, I signed two bills that
will protect victims of human trafficking. These bills will support the
victims of this heartbreaking abuse as they set out on the journey of
recovery.
Also this week, we visited south Florida to highlight a plan to invest $880 million for supporting the restoration of the Everglades. This historic legislation begins a long-term commitment to protecting Florida’s most delicate natural treasure. I would like to thank all state, local and federal officials who played a role in passing these bills and improving the lives of Florida families.
