Those 18 and older will be tested and failure will disqualify them for a year. POWDERMAN.

Powderman,

I can actually get behind this one. I think though the state would be well off providing the drug testing as getting people off the dole that legitimately show up dirty is well worth the investment and would make it more difficult to oppose.

I did  maintenence for a large apt complex years ago, most tenants were sgl mothers with kids. MOST of them were good folks, maybe 1/2, but there was a lot of drug and alcohol use too, all paid for with welfare money. For some it was just one big party. They would move guys in with them and when the money was gone the guys would leave, then  they'd bum money and food from Churches, several traded their food stamps for cigaretts, drugs and alcohol. First of the month the guys would come back and repeat the process. A local drug dealer lived  there, I witnessed him selling hard drugs to several middle school kids. I started keeping track of all the vehicles visiting him, one license plate was actually used on 3 different vehicles. YEP, he got busted. KY has passed legislation similar to this, the A nti  C hristian  L iars  U nion is of course fighting it. POWDERMAN.

YES  WE HAVE A GREAT GOVERNOR

SCOTT FOR PRESIDENT.........SCOTT  FOR  EMPEROR

HE SIGNED THESE  TOO

==============================================
 House Bill 155, Privacy of Firearms Owners, sponsored by state Representative Jason Brodeur (R-33) and Senator Greg Evers (R-2) will STOP pediatricians from invading privacy rights of gun owners and bringing anti-gun politics into medical examining rooms was signed into law  on June 1 and will take effect IMMEDIATELY.

Houses Bill 45, Penalties for Violating Firearms Preemption Law, sponsored by state Representative Matt Gaetz (R-4) and Senator Joe Negron (R-28) will STOP local politicians and governments from violating Florida law by providing penalties for willful violations was also signed into law on June 1 and will take effect on October 1, 2011.  The delay in the effective date is to allow agencies and local governments to REPEAL any and all regulations, policies, and ordinances that violate Florida’s firearms preemption law.  Beginning October 1, citizens and organizations may bring actions against agencies and governments for violating Florida’s firearms preemption law.

ALSO SIGNED:  Governor Scott signed House Bill 7161, sponsored by state Representative Jimmy Patronis (R-6), which will retain the exemption of personal identifying information of Concealed Weapons & Firearms license applicants and license holders from public records.  This bill maintains the privacy rights of gun owners.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the Florida Pediatric Society waged an unsuccessful campaign to get Governor Scott to veto HB 155.  In a letter they threatened to sue Governor Scott if the bill became law.

i  hope  no one  is suppoting  the AMERICAN ACADEMY  OF PEDAFILES
