Bill seeks to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports in Florida
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Despite impassioned pleas from LGBT advocates, a Florida House panel on Wednesday approved a controversial proposal that would ban transgender girls and women from competing in women’s high-school and college sports.
The move by the House Secondary Education & Career Development Subcommittee put Florida among the ranks of at least two-dozen other Republican-dominated state legislatures that have considered or approved measures requiring student athletes to compete according to their sex assigned at birth.

State lawmakers from the Tampa Bay region discussed climate change legislation during a virtual town hall Monday hosted by the advocacy group Tampa Bay Climate Alliance. One big topic was preemption.
A slate of measures in the Florida Legislature aim to restrict local governments from moving to renewable energy. Identical bills in the House and Senate would prohibit cities and counties from regulating transportation energy infrastructure, leaving it to the state.
Similarbills in each chamber would preempt restriction of utility services to the state, as well.
Sen. Janet Cruz, D-Tampa, opposes these preemption bills. She used the example of the Florida Chief Resiliency Officer position not being permanently filled for a year to question whether the state really has a commitment to a resilience plan.
