Black farmers that were part of the Pigford class action suit must pay a fee of $146,000, more than double that paid by others. Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried wants an investigation into the rule's intent.

After hearing testimony for two days, Judge Brian Newman said he could issue his ruling on the case involving six school boards in the next two weeks.

Six school districts are suing the state and say the Department of Health’s basis for issuing a rule giving parents the right to opt out of mask mandates is wrong.

The state asked an administrative judge to toss the challenge by six school boards. The court is slated to hear the case Thursday morning.

With the industry poised to mushroom, health regulators are asking lawmakers for nearly $13 million to more than double the number of workers in the office that oversees medical marijuana issues.

The state keeps coming after school districts over mask mandates. School districts are going after the state in court. Plus, redrawing political districts across the state.

The parents want the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a judge's refusal to issue a preliminary injunction against Gov. DeSantis' executive order, which they claim violates the ADA and federal Rehabilitation Act.

As one of his first official acts, Dr. Joseph Ladapo signed off on a Department of Health rule change that effectively nullified mask mandate lawsuits filed by several school districts.

Officials will look at the districts’ compliance with initial and revised Department of Health rules. Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran is expected to report findings of “probable cause.”

The grant is intended to pay for the salaries of eight Broward board members who voted for a student mask mandate that allows exceptions only for medical reasons during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Board members authorized the district’s legal team to sue over an emergency rule requiring school districts to allow parents to opt their kids out of mask mandates and quarantine requirements.

The health department fliled a complaint alleging violations such as failing to conduct an exam of an agent posing as a veteran with PTSD. The doctor's lawyer says his client was "preyed" on and investigators faked military documents.
