The veto was supported by a coalition of organizations including the Florida League of Cities and others, who argued the bill would increase government costs and burdens.

    To veto or not? All eyes are DeSantis, sovereign immunity bill

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis must decide by June 30 whether to sign or veto HB 145, a bill raising sovereign immunity caps for negligence lawsuits. The legislation faces opposition from education groups citing financial risks to school districts and support from the Florida Justice Association, which represents trial attorneys. DeSantis has previously vetoed similar bills backed by the trial bar group.
