Administrator Brown noted that House Bill 771, which included <br />a ban on plastic straws, was vetoed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. <br />Concluding his presentation, Administrator Brown gave a synopsis of other <br />significant legislation which passed during the Legislative Session that ended May <br />4, 2019. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan made mention that Governor DeSantis had written a letter <br />of explanation, which purportedly supported local government, regarding his veto <br />of the plastic straw ban. <br />The Board consensus was to have Chairman Solari send a letter thanking Governor <br />DeSantis for his support of local government, if this is deemed to be appropriate <br />after review of the Governor's letter. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 6 <br />
