Florida HB 1235 further tightened the regulations for persons forced to register. HB 1235 was passed on the pretense of making Florida statutes 775.21 and 943.0435 less vague. SOURCE

Many FAC members are preparing to speak at the upcoming Florida delegation meetings which begin in November and run through February.  (Opening day of the 2025 Regular Session is Tuesday, March 4, 2025.)

This week two of our FAC board members participated in a reentry seminar at Madison Correctional Institution, an incentivized facility.  The Florida Department of Corrections plans on eventually conducting such seminars at all facilities.  Why it has taken so long to figure out the need for such programs, I do not know.  But leaving a correctional institution with a one-way

Florida Action Committee is working toward filing a lawsuit to begin taking down the insane Florida county ordinances that are spreading from county to county like a cancer.  All it takes is for one county/municipal commissioner to hear of a sex offense ordinance in a nearby county and they decide to propose it in their own locality.  Never has any
