Highlights of HB 529 include:
Directs the principal of each public school to require teachers in first-period classrooms in all grades to set aside 1 to 2 minutes daily for a moment of silence, during which students may not interfere with other students’ participation.
This is an expansion of current law, which only “encourages” a moment of “silent prayer.”
Provides that a teacher:
Must encourage parents to discuss the moment of silence with their children and to make suggestions as to the best use of this time.
May not make suggestions as to the nature of any reflection that a student may engage in during the moment of silence.
Highlights of HB 805 include:
This bill ensures faith-based volunteer first responder services, like Hatzalah, can operate if the service has operated in Florida for at least 10 years and meets numerous other rigorous conditions.
The bill allows authorized volunteer ambulance services to use emergency lights and sirens when responding.
These services are critical for Holocaust survivors who have a fear of uniforms and of being taken away. Members are trained to treat patients according to Jewish law.
This just a lame attempt by De Soto DeGamer to pander to White Christian Supremacists and the Joos for votes!
