DeSantis Signs 13 More Laws

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed another 13 state laws after receiving 84 new bills on his desk last week. The latest batch includes legislation about the definition of child neglect, mandated flood disclosures, and attempts to control the weather.

Most of the new laws will take effect July 1, alongside 90 others that have already been signed. The full list is available here.

DeSantis has until July 3 to sign the remainder of the bills sent to him or to veto them. If the governor does neither, the bills will automatically become law.

One bill the governor signed repeals sections of Florida law related to outdated weather modification licensing and reporting requirements. It prohibits the dispersing of chemicals in an attempt to modify the weather, including factors such as temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity.

Lawmakers Change Tax Holidays

The new budget lawmakers sent to Gov. Ron DeSantis to sign includes $1.3 billion in tax cuts, including changes to the longstanding back-to-school tax holiday and the disaster preparedness sales tax holiday.

The back-to-school tax holiday will now run for the entire month of August each year instead of two weeks, while the disaster preparedness tax holiday will be eliminated. Instead, key hurricane supplies, like batteries, tarps, and portable generators, will be made permanently tax-exempt.

Flashlights and pet supplies will no longer be included in a tax holiday. The budget permanently removes sales tax from sunscreen, insect repellent, and admission to state parks.

Additionally, a new tax holiday for hunting, fishing, and camping supplies is established and scheduled from Sept. 8 to Dec. 31. If approved by the governor, the tax holidays and exemptions would go into effect on July 1.

Jacksonville Air Traffic Control Glitch

Air traffic controllers in Jacksonville, who are responsible for 160,000 square miles of airspace over the Southeast U.S., lost their radar signal on Friday after a fiber optic line was cut. Officials say no flights were disrupted.

According to the FAA, the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center in Hilliard experienced a telecommunications issue due to the cut line, causing a loss of radar, frequencies, and automation equipment.

Controllers were able to continue directing planes across five states because a backup system kicked in immediately as designed.

Authorities didn't specify what caused the severed line or where it happened. Since then, the center has been operating in "alert status" due to a reduction in system redundancies.

Ford reportedly builds one car per minute. Isn't it time we do that for houses?

BOXABL believes they have the potential to disrupt a massive and outdated trillion-dollar building construction market by bringing assembly line automation to the home industry.

BOXABL homes are built in their Las Vegas factory, folded, shipped on a truck, and then unfolded on site in one hour. They aim to transform home construction, much like how Henry Ford automated car manufacturing.

And they're not just dreaming big; they're delivering:

Prototype order delivered to SpaceX in 2020.
Project order of 156 homes from the DoD completed in 2021.
Built 700+ homes.
Actively delivering to developers and consumers.
