On March 10, 2022, the Florida legislature passed House Bill 7 (“HB 7”), the Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees (W.O.K.E.) Act, officially named “Individual Freedom,” but also known as the “Stop WOKE Act.”  The bill applies to Florida employers with 15 or more employees and aims to restrict how employers conduct training on race and sex.  Governor DeSantis signed the bill into law on April 22, 2022.  The bill also imposes limits on how public schools can talk about race and gender, which is outside the purview of this blog.
