DeSantis stated that “our proposed legislation will reinforce Florida’s commitment to not do business with states sponsors of terrorism, such as Iran.”

He added, “It will expand the prohibition of state investment into Iranian businesses, to include the financial sector, construction, manufacturing and textile industries, technology, metals and mining, as well as the shipping, shipbuilding, port, and textile sectors.”

Other bills signed included state funding to assist in disaster relief, assistance with mortgage payments and a program for school choice.
