 MIAMI - Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed a bill aimed at quickly removing
residential "squatters."
 During an appearance at the Orange County State Attorney's Office, DeSantis
said that under the measure (HB 621), "If you're the victim of squatting, you
can simply fill out a form, give it to your local sheriff and the sheriff is
instructed to go and remove the people who are inhabiting your dwelling
illegally. And that will happen very quickly."
 The bill, in part, could lead to second-degree felony charges for squatters
who intentionally cause at least $1,000 in damage. It also could lead to
first-degree felony charges against people who sell or lease residential
property they don't own.
 The law will go into effect July 1.
 The governor also said, "We are putting an end to the squatters scam in
Florida. While other states are siding with the squatters, we are protecting
property owners and punishing criminals looking to game the system."

Wow, DeathSantis sounds like a great gov.  How'd he do in his bid to be President?
