Attorney General James Uthmeier of Florida has released an opinion stating that state laws mandating race-based actions are likely unconstitutional under both the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and Article I, section 2, of the Florida Constitution.
“State laws requiring race-based state action are presumptively unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and Article I, section 2, of Florida’s Constitution,” Uthmeier said in his official statement.
