2025 FL Legislative Scorecard

SB700 bans the use of any additive to a public water supply that is not for the explicit purpose of improving water quality.

The Senate passed SB700 on April 16, 2025, by a vote of 27 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the fluoridization of public water, regardless of its alleged health benefits or effects, amounts to a taxpayer-funded, forced-medication program. Every individual has a fundamental right to medical freedom, as no person or entity has any legitimate authority to rule over another’s non-injurious healthcare decisions, particularly what they may eat, drink, or consume. Arbitrarily compelling citizens to pay for the addition of fluoride—an industrial chemical that critics claim is a dangerous developmental neurotoxicant (e.g., lead or mercury)—to public drinking water, all under the guise of “preventative” dental treatment, violates the natural rights retained by the people according to the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment.

HB677 provides State Group Insurance Program coverage for “standard fertility preservation services.”

The Senate passed HB677 on April 24, 2025, by a vote of 32 to 4. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because “standard fertility preservation services” involve “ocyte and sperm retrieval and preservation procedures and storage, including ovarian tissue, sperm, and oocyte retrieval and cryopreservation.” They are simply the first steps of the exact same process used during the life-destroying practices of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies, through which the vast majority of embryos conceived outside the womb are aborted or indefinitely frozen, resulting in the killing or cryo-incarceration of millions of preborn children. Since the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government, IVF must not be viewed as the solution to infertility. Florida ought to abolish abortion and cryo-orphaning entirely, upholding the sanctity of life for every person. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and “unalienable” right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

SB1804 makes it a capital felony to subject a child younger than 12 years of age to human trafficking for sexual exploitation.

The Senate passed SB1804 on April 28, 2025, by a vote of 27 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because child-sex trafficking is a serious crime that demands the death penalty. As justice is the overall purpose of government, the State of Florida has a dual role of securing the “unalienable Rights” to life and liberty while punishing anyone responsible for depriving them. Importantly, the U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment addresses “capital” crimes. Criminal codes before and during the time of the American Founding, such as the 1641 Laws of New England, confirm that kidnapping, like rape, is a deep violation of personhood, and therefore an assault on both God’s image and man’s calling. The “due process” and “equal protection” requirements in the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment follow the Common Law retributive principle that “the punishment should fit the crime.”

HB1205 prevents non-U.S. citizens and non-Florida residents from registering as petition circulators, directs supervisors of elections to notify voters whose signatures are verified, and forbids the use of public funds to advocate for or against any issue.

The Senate passed HB1205 on May 2, 2025, by a vote of 28 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the initiative power in Article XI of the Florida Constitution needs to be repealed. “Citizens’ initiatives” are illegitimate populist loopholes that relegate the solemn lawmaking duties of the Legislature to the will of the masses, replacing the checks and balances of representative government with chaos and instability. They are an insufficient safeguard for protecting the rights and liberties of Floridians—in every part of the state—from the “dangers of democracy” or “tyranny of the majority.” Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution guarantees to Florida “a Republican Form of Government,” which means government limited to the “rule of law,” as opposed to the unbridled whims of “majority rule.”

SB2514 allows certain dental and dental-hygiene students to apply for the Dental Student Loan Repayment Program before obtaining active employment.

The Senate passed SB2514 on June 16, 2025, by a vote of 34 to 0. We have assigned minuses to the yeas because neither healthcare nor education is the role of government. The Dental Student Loan Repayment Program is part of the unconstitutional Florida Medicaid Program. Medicaid is a jointly financed federal-state “entitlement” scheme that is not authorized according to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. It relies on discriminatory forms of taxation that provide “medical assistance benefits” to “eligible persons,” who have little or no tax liability, at the expense of others—causing more debt, dependency, and poverty. Likewise, student loan repayment for professional, graduate-level education is the responsibility of the students (or borrowers) themselves, not anyone else.
