💨 Abstract

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law restricting development in state parks, banning golf courses, sports facilities, and mandating public notice for proposed changes. The bipartisan effort follows widespread protests against the governor’s prior support for such developments. The law goes into effect on July 1 and is seen as a victory for environmental activism. The legislators cited strong public support and bipartisan backing as key factors in the law's passage.
