Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signs six bills into law, with House Bill 991 on election reforms stealing the spotlight. This bill introduces stricter voter security measures, such as verifying U.S. citizenship at registration and limiting acceptable IDs at the polls. It also bans foreign cash in state campaigns, sets a five-year window for prosecuting election felonies, and requires local time stamps for early vote uploads. These changes are set to take effect in January 2027, with critics worrying they could make it harder for legitimate voters to cast their ballots. Meanwhile, other bills address quick fixes, including blocking recent name changes for candidates and expanding ethics rules to foster families. These moves aim to keep Floridas system sharp and adaptive, especially as election seasons approach.
