The 2018 Parkland school safety law
What they say
His campaign says he helped craft and pass the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, including Florida's red flag law and a minimum age of 21 to buy a firearm.
“He helped craft and pass the bipartisan Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act”
What the record shows ·
As a state representative he offered his own 112-page version of CS/SB 7026, replacing most of the bill. It kept the red flag and age-21 provisions; the House rejected it 42-71 on March 6, 2018. The next day he voted for the bill as written when the House passed it 67-50. It became Chapter 2018-3, which creates risk protection orders and says a person younger than 21 may not buy a firearm.
Limit: The record shows him working on the bill and voting for it, but his own version was rejected. Whether any of his words are in the final law is not established: no adopted amendment or official credit in his name was found.
