The governor spent Thursday morning addressing issues Florida credit unions and teachers are facing.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The VyStar Tower in downtown Jacksonville was more than a backdrop, but an example of credit unions Gov. Ron DeSantis' believesHouse Bill 989 will stand up for Florida Credit Unions over big-name banks, DeSantis said. Allowing credit unions to host seven percent of the total funds held in the state treasury and seven percent of public deposits of any state university.
DeSantis says this puts public funds in a safe place while protecting customers from what he calls financial discrimination where accounts are canceled or restricted through complaints or investigations that may be politically charged. Florida's Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis explained how one in three Floridians belong to state credit unions. Which is contributing to what Patronis says is"the best fiscal health for the state of Florida."
The governor signed a second bill to ban DEI training from teachers, keeping lesson plans to the state standard, without including an ideological agenda.
