DeSantis Signs Controversial Bear-Shooting Bill, Vetoes Left-Lane Driving Crackdown

The new law allows Floridians to kill black bears in self-defense, while the vetoed bill aimed to fine slow drivers in the left lane.

The bear-shooting law provides legal protection for residents who kill bears perceived as threats.
Opponents argue the law could lead to unnecessary bear deaths and pose public safety risks.
Supporters claim the law is necessary due to increasing human-bear encounters in rural areas.
DeSantis vetoed a bill that would have fined drivers for cruising in the left lane on highways.
Critics of the vetoed bill believe it would have led to increased traffic congestion.
