BREAKING: 8-4 legislation becomes law.

Gov. DeSantis signed the new capital sentencing legislation this morning. It goes into effect immediately.

This morning, Gov. DeSantis received the capital sentencing legislation for approval.

Within minutes, he quietly signed the bill. No press conference or anything. However, a press release issued Thursday afternoon shows that he was joined for the signing by several people, including parents of victims of the Parkland shooting.

The bill becomes law immediately.

The full law, as enacted, can be found here.

It does not appear that he’s received the capital sex crime bill yet, but that is expected any day.
