Florida Parental Rights Memorial

The Florida legislature passed the Parental Rights Memorial, thus making Florida the fifth state in the Union to call on Congress to pass the Parental Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution! Mission accomplished!

In the 2011 legislative session, the Parental Rights Memorial (HM 557 and SM 954) passed overwhelmingly in the Florida House with a voice vote, and unanimously in the Florida Senate. Both chambers gave the Parental Rights Memorial bipartisan support.

SM 954, sponsored by Senator AniTere Flores, and cosponsored by Senators Fasano, Wise, Bennett, Norman, Dockery, Storms, Evers, and Diaz de la Portilla, was voted in favor by all senators (with the exception of Senator Rich who abstained and Senator Larcenia Bullard who was absent).
