There will not be limitations from the state of Florida. The order that I'm signing today will guarantee restaurants operate, will not allow closures. They can operate at a minimum of 50 percent regardless of local rule.

Imagine if a woman has a difficult labor but had to travel hours to a healthcare facility.

I recently introduced legislation called the Fair Pricing Act with Representative Gonzalez a Democrat from Texas.
