DeSantis vetoes congressional maps bill; calls Special Session of the Florida Legislature
Gov. Ron DeSantis has called a Special Session of the Florida Legislature to produce a new map to establish congressional voting districts in Florida.
DeSantis vetoed CS/SB 102 this morning after reviewing the bill, citing legal concerns.
The Special Session will convene at noon on Tuesday, April 19, and will extend no later than 11:59 p.m., Friday, April 22.
“We have a responsibility to produce maps for our citizens that do not contain unconstitutional racial gerrymanders,” DeSantis said. “Today, I vetoed a map that violates the U.S. Constitution, but that does not absolve the Legislature from doing its job. I appreciate the Legislature’s willingness to work with me to pass a legally compliant map this Special Session.”
