Call it a “Flori-duh” update. No, the last Legislative session couldn’t be bothered to move on Medicaid expansion or repeal stand your ground or make texting while driving a primary offense. But it did manage to amend and reaffirm the 4-year-old ban on state investment in companies that have operations in Cuba.
It was an add-on to a bill that prohibits state agencies from doing business with companies that boycott Israel. Any means will do when it comes to winning Cold War points with the usual suspects.
BTW, as Senate President Joe Negron–who sponsored the legislation–has pointed out, it’s probably “unenforceable.” Something to do with it being unconstitutional. But that’s only the opinion of the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Call it another day at the Tallahassee office.
