HB3 bans the financial sector from considering “social credit scores” based on a person’s political or religious beliefs, and blocks state and local governments from using ESG factors in all investment, procurement, and contracting decisions.
The Senate passed HB3 on April 19, 2023, by a vote of 28 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the government has a duty to protect Floridians’ individual liberties from the all-encompassing ‘woke’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) movement. As a political scam that seeks to proliferate worldwide and implement the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, ESG denies the property rights of American citizens by restricting their access to financial services, among others, preventing both companies and individuals from entering into contracts voluntarily based on their own interests with freedom of association. The Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment were written to protect against undue deprivations or disparagements of a person’s “property.”
