Gov. Ron DeSantis - who has taken political donations as high as $5 million - signed a law last week making it a crime to donate more than $3,000 to a Florida amendment drive.
The law was passed in response to national protests demanding justice for the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the release stated. The law was passed despite that the fact that “the vast majority” of the protests were peaceful, the release said.
The law creates new criminal penalties against protesters and enhances criminal and civil penalties for various actions during protests, the release said.
The law also gives DeSantis the power to override any city’s decision to reduce a police department’s budget if the budget is appealed by a prosecutor, county or city commissioner, the release said.
