A Florida Republican who is also in a cover band filed a bill that effectively would prevent his own shows from getting canceled. Wednesday afternoon, Panhandle Rep. Joel Rudman, R-Navarre, filed HB 15, which he calls the “The Right to Rock Act,” for the upcoming 2024 legislative session. Under the proposal, any entertainment venue that accepts state funding would be banned from breaking a contract with a performer due to their social-media use or political affiliations.
