TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) â A bill aimed at stopping violent protests is going before Florida s legislature in the upcoming 2021 lawmaking session.
The Leon-Gadsden branch of Faith in Florida is breaking down Florida bill HB-1. Here in Leon County, we have had a lot of peaceful protests, said Karen Miller, a congressional organizer with Faith in Florida.
The bill has been in the works since September of 2020 after some protests turned violent across the country in the wake of social injustice.
