Florida Republican files bill that bans venues from canceling shows over political views, posts [View all]
Florida Republican files bill that bans venues from canceling shows over political views, social media postsOrlando Weekly, 8/23/2023
This isn't the first time Rudman has filed a bill that directly impacts his own interests
A Florida Republican who is also in a cover band filed a bill that effectively would prevent his own shows from getting canceled.
Wednesday afternoon, Panhandle Rep. Joel Rudman, R-Navarre, filed HB 15, which he calls the "The Right to Rock Act,” for the upcoming 2024 legislative session.
Under the proposal, any entertainment venue that accepts state funding would be banned from breaking a contract with a performer due to their social-media use or political affiliations.
The proposal applies to musicians, comedians, dancers and actors.
