The bill passed in the House 76-34, according to Florida’s Voice. The passing comes just days after the bill passed 28 to 12 in the state Senate.
The bill includes a change to existing laws which would now exempt officeholders seeking to run for president or vice president from the state’s "resign-to-run" provision.
DeSantis, who is expected to announce his presidential campaign in mid-May, would not have to resign unless he wins the 2024 election and is inaugurated in 2025. DeSantis won his reelection in 2022, and would not be allowed to run in the 2026 cycle under Florida law.
