Traffic, especially for those travelling to and from their jobs would be on the road much longer than already experiencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Florida House version of this bill is sponsored by Jenna Persons-Mulicka, (R)-Fort Myers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the bill is passed by the House and signed by Governor DeSantis, the law is expected to take effect on January, 9, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paul Waldmiller Did you know that there is a current bill in the Florida House which would ban drivers in the left lane, unless passing other vehicles?
