- Attorney General Ashley Moody sued the Biden administration for allegedly withholding $800 million in federal funding from the state.
- The filing came after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed S.B. 256 into law. The law implemented several union-related regulations, including removing the ability for public sector unions to directly take out dues from employee paychecks.
- According to the attorney general’s office, the Biden administration issued an ultimatum, specifically in regards to transportation workers. The federal government demanded that the employees in the sector were exempt from the legislation.
- The Florida Public Transportation Association informed the office that refusal to obey the ultimatum could result in more than $800 million withheld from the state.
