Anti-riot

Published: April 20, 2021, 4:15 a.m.

The Governor signs House Bill 1, calling it the “anti-riot bill.” Democrats call it the “anti-protest bill” … and an assault on the First Amendment.

Also, on today’s Sunrise:

— The Senate Appropriations Committee passes a bill to crack down on social media platforms that censor hate speech. So much for Republicans being champions of business and small government.

— The House State Affairs Committee passes an election reform bill that is loved by Republicans and despised by Democrats.

— The sponsor of the bill limiting the THC content in smokable medical marijuana says his bill appears to be dead — but strange things have been known to happen on the final day of the Legislative Session.

— And finally, a Florida Man was beaten by bystanders at a carnival … for good reason.
