Gainesville City Commission Votes to File Complaint Against HB1

Yesterday, the Gainesville City Commission voted to file a complaint against the Combating Violence, Disorder, and Looking and Law Enforcement Protection Act, also known as HB 1. Passed and signed into law in April 2021, the massive law erases the ability of local governments to pass budgets responsive to their communities’ needs, in addition to undermining the free speech and assembly of all Floridians.
