Today Gov Scott signed the Bill passed by the FL Legislature. Very pleased that our state government worked together well and quickly. Personally I agree with all detail points of this bill - a very good start, and throws the gauntlet down to other states.

Overview>

Gov. Rick Scott today signed a school safety and gun control bill that came in the wake of the Parkland shootings that killed 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The bill includes language on procedures that would allow some teachers and staff to carry guns on campus. It also imposes a three-day waiting period for any gun purchase and raises the minimum legal age for buying all guns in Florida from 18 to 21.

The half-billion dollar package, dubbed the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, includes requirements for mental health and safety programs in schools.
