2.N. A RESOLUTION DENOUNCING THE PROPOSED FLORIDA BILL "PARENTAL RIGHTS IN EDUCATION" (HB 1557/SB 1834) AND IMPOSING FINANCIAL SANCTIONS IF THE BILL IS APPROVED AND UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE NEW LAW IS REVOKED [L. HORVATH, J. ERICKSON, Y. QUARKER, A. LOVANO, H. MOLINA]: SUBJECT: The City Council will consider adopting a resolution to denounce the proposed Florida Bill, the "Parental Rights in Education" bill (HB 1557/SB 1834), which opponents refer to as the "Don't Say Gay" bill because it prohibits schools from talking about LGBTQ+ issues, sexual orientation, and gender identity in classrooms with young students. This item imposes financial sanctions on Florida-based businesses if the bill is approved and until such time as the new law is revoked, amended, or struck down by the courts. The Council will also consider sending a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott denouncing his directive to investigate medical treatments for trans youth as "child abuse" and other attempts in Texas and other states to prohibit gender-affirming medical care for youth.
