   The last Senate floor action for SB 1252 amendment 857106 (green license plate) is that the amendment was withdrawn on 4/30/2023. I’m not an expert on this. Does “withdrawn” mean that it’s no longer going to be added to the bill?

   Thanks FAC for being there to inform.
   Just a thought, there are 131 comments on this thread.
   Is there a way that you can refresh it? And maybe give a bit of clarity to just what will happen if this bill is passed with Books amendments in layman language..

   Also what further action we can do, over the weekend.

   Who would you suggest we contact, and suggested things to say.

   Thank you

     I suggest that WE ALL go to every representative and senator! This legislation is a target to any sex offender who is trying to make a life in today’s world. Our voices need to be heard! Now that the new permit-less gun carry law has passed, I feel that ALL of us are targets!! Truly, we need to stand up for whatever rights we have. I know I’m not giving up but we need to all make a stand for the little bit of right we do have!

   Florida Statues says if your license plate is stolen they have to replace it for free, as long has you have a police report. I wonder how many times mine will get stolen. I will just have to make my own sign with my license plate number on it.

     What needs to be conveyed is that any rehabilitation relies on a strong support system. Now we are punishing the support system that helps get people back to a productive member of society. The vigilante aspect is very true but this is the key.

     Yes, Bill, I can see mine getting stolen alot too because of the vigilantes out there. You made a great point. I’m already working on a template for the reports.

   Book wants to put Sexual Predator in red letters to all DL, including those from offenders [Moderator’s note: Where does she say that?]. – How can anyone conduct business with that on there ? She wants fluorescent green plates on all vehicles and a 3rd degree felony if you cover the plate at work or something. This is too crazy and irresponsible. It can NOT pass. It will completely destroy thousands of families and put them in extreme danger.
   It’s like when the Nazi’s tattooed the Star of David on Jews back in Hitler’s old concentration camps.
   The state can run the registry, but they have to responsible and protect those families on it.

     This provides us more time to reach out to our Senators. Whomever has not reached out, please contact the Senators and House Members who voted No.

     Does anyone know what this means? What’s the big picture here? Is the fact that it’s being TP’d a sign that it’s losing support and likely won’t pass? Or is this just typical? I’ve been watching the session today, but I don’t understand why “our” bill isn’t part of the normal session, but a special, afterwards meeting? I would give half my jug of Tums for an update. This is nerve-wracking.

       Let’s pray it can end without this hurtful and irresponsible legislation passing. Keep writhing senators.

       Let’s also hope that there is an injunction already prepared to be filed immediately if it passes and it is signed.

       The ACLU has been very involved and successful in Michigan with fighting that state with SO issues. Maybe they can help here in Florida as well.

     Sentaor DiCeglie whose email [email protected] should be emailed asking him to withdrawl his bill.

       DeCeglie’s bill, as amended by DeCeglie, is good. He sat in committee when our volunteers spoke and took action with a good floor amendment.

       Book’s floor amendment would undermine DeCeglie’s amendment by restoring the language that DeCeglie proposes to delete from the bill.

       Please THANK DeCeglie and encourage him to oppose Book’s amendment.

   I have again sent new, personal, individual emails to the Senators who voted no, and to the Senator representing my district.

   I’m realizing how little I know about the intricacies of this process, but I’ve been thinking…. What happens if they keep putting it at the end of the next day’s schedule, day after day, and just never get around to it? Is this a thing that sometimes happens? A delaying tactic? Or do they stay in session until everything has been decided?

        I have no Idea. I could be since Book dropped in the bomb shells after hours that some Senators are ticked or just want time to read them. Either way another sleepless night

      Well. I guess no vote is better than an approval. I’m going to need a bunch more Tums.

        TP as in toilet paper? I agree, the bill is toilet paper!

    How about any damage done to our vehicles, our loved ones vehicles or friends. We send them the bill for damages and a lawsuit for emotional trauma that the bill will cause.

    I wrote a shame-on-you message to all House Reps saying thanks for putting friends, family, and loved ones at risk. (I can post my letter if anyone’s interested in reading it.) I especially included a note saying that LB says she wants to keep kids safe, but only the kids she likes. There’s so much to say but if you send too long of a message, it’s guaranteed to not be read. I included a big “thank you” to the reps who voted against the bill. One rep, Anna Eskamani, replied, “Keep the pressure on, hopefully there is a way to get this amended in the final days of session.”
