GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Trenton’s Law, named after 18-year-old Trenton Stewart who was killed in a wrong-way crash, passed the state legislature unanimously and now heads to Governor Ron DeSantis for his signature. If approved, the law will take effect on October 1—doubling the maximum sentence for repeat DUI manslaughter or vehicular homicide offenders.  First Coast News
  • Ponte Vedra resident Megan Caico lost her six-month-old puppy—Frank—when two German Shepherds broke into her backyard, and she hopes a new dangerous dog bill will hold owners accountable.
