A new Florida law is forcing some public officials to choose between their day jobs or holding office.
The measure, which took effect over the weekend, prohibits public officials from working as lobbyists while holding public office. It also bars state and local elected officials from lobbying their state agencies or offices for six years after leaving office, up from a previous two-year ban.
Five elected officials in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Leon counties have challenged the new law in a federal lawsuit, but the judge in the case last week denied a request to temporarily block the law from going into effect until the court could rule on its legality.
