Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law on Tuesday a new bill that limits the number of books that can be challenged by individuals who do not have students enrolled in Florida school districts.

The new law, dubbed HB 1285, will limit individuals who do not have students enrolled in the school district to raise one objection per month, according to the governor’s statement.
