March 16, 2022: The 2022 Legislative Session is in the books, and the Session saw a lot bills that spurred heated debate and divisions among party lines. 

HB 1557, the “Parental Rights in Education" bill, is arguably the most controversial bill of the Session and was dubbed by critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. It passed, but not without fierce opposition from the left and fierce support on the right. 

We talk about that and other significant bills with State Representative Carlos Guillermo Smith on this week’s “Central Florida: Beyond the Soundbite."
