Expressly prohibiting the use of a federally adopted Central Bank Digital Currency as money within Florida’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
Instituting protections against a central global currency by prohibiting any CBDC issued by a foreign reserve or foreign sanctioned central bank.
“The Biden administration’s efforts to inject a Centralized Bank Digital Currency is about surveillance and control,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Today’s announcement will protect Florida consumers and businesses from the reckless adoption of a ‘centralized digital dollar’ which will stifle innovation and promote government-sanctioned surveillance. Florida will not side with economic central planners; we will not adopt policies that threaten personal economic freedom and security.”
In September 2022, Biden released "policy objectives" for a future digital currency. He also directed the federal government to study the issue further, and instructed the leadership of key government agencies, including the National Security Council and Treasury Department, to meet "regularly" with officials from the Federal Reserve to "discuss the working group’s progress and share updates ... on CDBC and other payments innovations."

It's Election Day in Jacksonville.
Four years ago, Duval County Democrats did not run a candidate for Mayor. They aren’t making that mistake this time around, and the hopes are for a more competitive election than they saw in 2019.
The Mayor’s Office and the Property Appraiser’s office, both of which are open, are up on the First Election ballot. Also this year, most City Council seats are contested. Sheriff TK Waters and Supervisor of Elections candidate Jerry Holland have no competition, and voters will not be compelled to weigh in on those elections.
The mayoral race will be the most closely watched. Seven candidates are on the ballot, representing one of the most crowded fields in local history. Democrats Donna Deegan and Audrey Gibson and Republicans LeAnna Gutierrez Cumber, Daniel Davis, and Al Ferraro are the ones with the most name value. Polling suggests Deegan and Davis will advance to a May runoff, with neither coming close to majority support to close it out Tuesday.
