HB 1471 is currently in House committee, but will soon hit the House floor for voting. Right now, it’s crucial to contact your legislators and share this issue.

With this bill, a term the Trump administration is already using to justify murder could become a state legal weapon to target and prosecute political opponents, protests, and free speech.

Why's this matter so much? Think about it:

After two Minneapolis residents were shot and killed by ICE agents, Department of Homeland Security leaders publicly described those incidents as “domestic terrorism,” before an investigation was conducted, and even where evidence disputed the claims.

HB 1471 is not meant to stop violence, instead it dramatically expands state power to criminalize association, punish speech, suppress campus activism, and target marginalized communities.

Public colleges and universities would be required to immediately expel any student who “promotes” a designated domestic or foreign terrorist organization (with no explanation as to what promoting entails), charge expelled students out-of-state tuition, or even report students on visas to ICE.

If a group is designated as a domestic terrorist organization:

-providing material support (money, labor, organizing, services) becomes a first-degree felony,
- and being a member and acting “under the direction or control” of the organization becomes a second-degree felony.

Once designated, the group is added to a state-maintained list, members and supporters face criminal penalties, and the designation only gets reviewed every 5 years.

This is not limited to violent groups in practice, the definitions are broad and vague.

HB 1471 gives the Chief of Domestic Security the power to label any organization as a domestic terrorist organization if they determine that the group is based in the US, engages in acts “intended to influence government policy” or “intimidate a civilian population, or is deemed an “ongoing threat”

Federal officials are labeling people domestic terrorists to justify deadly force--now Florida legislators want to make it law.

📢 Florida’s 2026 Legislative Session began on January 13th and will run for 60 days, so these bills will be moving fast; but you aren’t powerless here.

SB 318 also was passed by the Florida Senate, which would create stricter tracking standards for students participating in Florida’s private school voucher programs, leading to improved accountability and administration within the program.

Last year, the Florida Senate and House passed a bill to eliminate the free kill law, but Gov. DeSantis vetoed it.

The “free kill” law currently blocks parents from pursuing wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of an adult child who dies as a result of a medical malpractice, and adult children from pursuing lawsuits when a parent dies as a result of malpractice.

HB 6003 was passed the House by a 88-17 vote, which would repeal the “free kill” law.

The Senate Commerce and Tourism Committee passed Senate Bill 806, a “right to repair” bill for farm equipment requiring manufacturers of expensive equipment like tractors and combines to share access to the information, parts, and tools necessary to fix the equipment when it breaks.

These matching laws would require state agencies to provide at least 30 days’ notice and a detailed public explanation before they can sell or swap any state conservation lands.

The House Natural Resources & Disasters Subcommittee passed House Bill 441 and the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee passed Senate Bill 546.
