Florida - Thursday July 6, 2023: Governor Ron DeSantis has vetoed Senate Bill 1188, a law that would have placed a statutory cap on the liability of vendors in contract disputes.
In his veto message the Governor wrote, in part, that: "establishing a statutory cap on vendor liability unnecessarily hamstrings agencies in contract negotiations, potentially putting taxpayers at risk of harm at the hands of irresponsible vendors."
