| | |  |  AI Legislation Stalls in the House
Gov. Ron DeSantis' key proposals to regulate artificial intelligence and the data centers that fuel the booming technology have stalled, as the 2026 legislative session reaches its midpoint with little action in the House. The governor's AI bill of rights would require disclosure when consumers interact with AI, restrict AI use in therapy, expand parental controls, and limit state subsidies and the environmental impacts associated with data centers. While the Senate has advanced the AI bill of rights, the House has not taken up either measure. The House version of the bill faces four committee stops, and its sponsor acknowledged that time may be running out for consideration. | Education Bill Heads to House Floor A sweeping K-12 education bill is headed to the House floor after clearing its final committee on a 15-4 party-line vote. Its Senate companion, SB 1090, has yet to receive its first committee hearing. HB 1071 would require instruction on fetal development, restrict DEI-related spending, tighten school security, address truancy, and strengthen math accountability standards. The bill also expands oversight of charter and private schools and increases reporting requirements. Supporters say the measure enhances safety, transparency, and parental rights while preventing discrimination by blocking public funds for political activism. Critics argue that its DEI language is vague and could harm minority and LGBTQ students. Some also object to mandated lessons on embryos and ultrasound. | Lists: Best Spots for Dining and Proposals USA Today released its list of the best restaurants in the U.S., while the Historic Hotels of America announced its picks for the most romantic hotels in the country for marriage proposals. Florida locations are featured in both. The 2026 Restaurants of the Year were nominated by food journalists. A team of editors then whittled the list down to 39 featured establishments. Tide Tables in Bradenton and Oceano in Lake Worth Beach made the list. Beyond dining, two Florida hotels were selected for inclusion on a list of the top 25 historic hotels for a marriage proposal. Casa Monica Resort & Spa in St. Augustine and The Don CeSar in St. Pete Beach were featured for their romance and beauty. | | | Flying together with our sponsor
