House Bill 1471 allows the Chief of Domestic Security at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to make a foreign or domestic terrorist designation if certain conditions are met. The designation is contingent upon approval of the governor and Cabinet.
“To uphold the rule of law, our state must operate under one legal system, the Constitution must remain the law of the land, and we must defend our institutions from those who would harm us – especially terrorist organizations that seek to infiltrate and subvert our education system,” said second-term Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. “HB1471 reinforces these principles in Florida.”
Under the bill, courts are prohibited from applying foreign or religious laws like Sharia law, if they violate constitutional rights.
It also sets up a framework where students can be expelled if they are found to be promoting a designated terrorist organization. Additionally, grants and other state funds can be denied for students promoting terrorist organizations.
Funds can also be denied for schools if they promote, support or maintain any programs on campus that promote terrorist organizations or a person who is providing support to such organizations.
The bill expands provisions related to “disruptive activities” by students and requires public universities to report the current status of a student attending on a student visa if that student promotes terrorist organizations.
Disruptive activities include making a statement that approves of a terrorist organization’s “extralegal violence” that can be interpreted as a true threat, disrupting the learning environment, and invading the rights of others.
The governor’s office said the bill is meant to increase accountability in education and prevent taxpayer funds from promoting terrorist groups.
