Bad Bills (Oppose):

The Abortion Bounty Bill: SB 1374 / HB 663 by Senator Jonathan Martin and Representative Shane Abbott

This bill creates a cause of action for the parent, spouse, sibling, abuser, or rapist of a patient to sue for $100,000 in damages if the patient accesses abortion pills by mail or through telehealth. This bill intentionally targets telehealth and shield law providers and attempts to limit the distribution of abortion pills by mail. House Bill 663 could turn family members against each other and abusers into bounty hunters.

  • Senate: Not currently on an agenda. 


Endangering our Kids Act: SB 166 / HB 173 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Kim Kendall

This bill would ban STI treatment, most crisis mental health resources (like a suicide prevention hotline), health surveys, and birth control for minors who can’t involve a parent.

 

Abusers’ Bill of Rights: SB 164 / HB 289 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Sam Greco

This deceptive bill would create a slippery slope that could lead to fertilized eggs and embryos having the same rights as a living person. That means for a pregnant patient, lawyers, not doctors, will be consulted if they need health care, including in an emergency. This could jeopardize IVF, chemotherapy, and abortion access if the partner, abuser, or rapist of a pregnant patient is able to sue for the loss or termination of the pregnancy.


Student Indoctrination Act: SB 1090 / HB 1071 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Dana Trabulsy

This sweeping bill would require students to watch a medically-inaccurate video like “Baby Olivia” from a national anti-abortion extremist group, ban student clubs from engaging in political or social issues, and force parents to proactively opt students in to receive any reproductive health education instead of the current opt-out option. 


Barriers to IVF & Fertility Services: SB 1044 / HB 993 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Jenna Persons-Mulicka

This bill creates new, unnecessary obstacles to IVF and fertility treatment by forcing families to navigate politically-motivated and intrusive requirements under the guise of “informed consent.” 

  • House: Not currently on an agenda.
  • Senate: Not currently on an agenda.


Restricting Family Building & Surrogacy: SB 1680 / HB 1487 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Monique Miller

This bill attacks the freedom to build a family by closing off long-standing pathways to parenthood, especially for LGBTQ+ people and others who rely on assisted reproductive technology (ART).

  • House: Not currently on an agenda.
  • Senate: Not currently on an agenda.


Don’t Say Gay or Trans at Work: SB 1642 / HB 641 by Senator Stan McClain and Representative Rachel Plakon

This bill forces extreme anti-LGBTQ ideology into the workplace by controlling how people refer to themselves and others on the job. It would create a license to discriminate against transgender Floridians in government workplaces by promoting misgendering and banning job applicants from identifying as transgender or nonbinary. The bill would also prohibit LGBTQ-related cultural competency training for employees of businesses that receive state funding, making workplaces across Florida less safe and less respectful.


Pride Flag Ban: SB 426 / HB 347 by Senator Clay Yarborough and Representative David Borrero

This bill was been reintroduced for the fourth consecutive year, without fixing constitutional deficiencies noted by staff in prior legislative sessions. The bill is an overreaching effort to deny LGBTQ visibility, much like ripping up rainbow crosswalks in front of Pulse and other street murals around the state, sparking tremendous local backlash. The bill is as tired as it is sweeping—banning any display or representation of a rainbow flag on government property, from a lapel pin to a coffee mug, as the bill sponsor has said.


Outlawing Activism: SB 1632 / HB 1471 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Hillary Cassel

This bill creates a vague, new designation of “domestic terrorist organization” for organizations engaging in allegedly dangerous activities intended to “coerce” the public or influence government policy “by intimidation or coercion.” This kind of unfettered censorship strikes at the core of our democracy.

  • House: Passed two of three committees. Not currently on an agenda.
  • Senate: Passed first of three committees. In Appropriations Committee on Criminal and Civil Justice on Wednesday, 2/25 at 1:30pm.

Anti-Diversity in Local Government: SB 1134 / HB 1001 by Senator Clay Yarborough and Representative Dean Black 

This bill is a state sledgehammer to stop cities and counties from any action that recognizes and responds to differences based on race, sex, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation, with limited exceptions. It would effectively ban local governments from a range of actions like hosting or supporting Prides, offering LGBTQ+ cultural competency training, recognizing Black History Month, or having women and minority-owned business programs. 


New Barriers to Voting: SB 1334 / HB 991 by Senator Erin Grall and Representative Jenna Persons-Mulicka

This bill would remove thousands of eligible U.S. citizens from the voter rolls and prevent eligible U.S. citizens from being registered to vote.

Book Ban Expansion: SB 1692 / HB 1119 by Senator Stan McClain and Representative Doug Bankson 

This bill would supercharge book banning and censorship in Florida’s K-12 schools by discarding a long-standing constitutional standard to make it easier to challenge and remove educational materials.

Good Bills (Support):

The Reproductive Freedom Act: SB 1308 / HB 1151 by Senator Tracie Davis and Representative Fentrice Driskell

This bill establishes the fundamental right to reproductive health care, including but not limited to,
contraception, sterilization, preconception care, maternity care, abortion care, family planning, and fertility services.


Doula Bill: SB 1456 / HB 1043 by Senator Rosalind Osgood and Representative Ashley Gantt

This long-overdue bill establishes the Doula Workforce Development Support Program.

  • House: Not currently on an agenda.
  • Senate: Not currently on an agenda.


Ending Taxpayer-Funded Propaganda: SB 242 / HB 6001 by Senator Kristen Arrington and Representative Kelly Skidmore

This bill repeals the Florida Pregnancy Care Network which funds anti-abortion centers across the state with $29.5 million of taxpayer money each year. These centers lack medical or safety standards, are not bound by privacy protections (HIPAA), and exist to shame people seeking abortions or birth control.


Parental Rights in Health Education: SB 1492 / HB 331 by Senator Tracie Davis and Representative Dianne Hart

Florida students are currently being denied medically accurate health education because the Department of Education has refused to approve district-submitted materials. This bill returns power to local communities, protect parental rights, and ensure students receive accurate, age-appropriate health education.
