# Ron DeSantis Biography Flash - Recent Developments
Governor Ron DeSantis has had quite the busy stretch over the past few days, with significant moves across education, agriculture, and the judiciary. Most notably, on Monday, March 23rd, DeSantis signed the sweeping 2026 Florida Farm Bill in Highlands County, flanked by Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson and Senate President Ben Albritton. According to reporting from WLRN, this legislation, known as SB 290, passed with overwhelming bipartisan support—unanimously in the Senate and 94-10 in the House. The farm bill is a comprehensive package addressing everything from agricultural support to rural community development. It establishes the Farmers Feeding Florida program, allows state-owned conservation land to be sold under easement for farming to help young farmers afford property, and preempts local governments from banning gas-powered landscaping equipment. DeSantis emphasized his personal preference for gas-powered equipment, saying it's more reliable, and the bill protects approximately 110 small cities from large developer takeovers.
Just days earlier, on March 21st, DeSantis made a keynote appearance at Arizona State University's Center for American Institutions at the Arizona Biltmore Resort in Phoenix. According to the State Press, he criticized leftist ideology in higher education and emphasized his administration's efforts to eliminate political bias in universities. He touted his record on education, particularly restrictions on support for transgender students, drawing applause from the audience. The event featured tickets ranging from 250 to 1,000 dollars, with proceeds benefiting the ASU Foundation.
Earlier in the week, on March 20th, DeSantis signed two environmental bills aimed at coastal protection. According to Click Orlando, he signed Senate Bill 302 on Coastal Resiliency and House Bill 1417 regarding the Department of Environmental Protection. SB 302 prohibits dredging at Terra Ceia Bay while streamlining permitting for nature-based coastal restoration methods.
Meanwhile, the judicial sphere saw movement as well. According to the Florida Bar's Daily News Summary from March 19th, the Judicial Nominating Commission sent a shortlist of six nominees to DeSantis on March 17th to replace retiring Third District Court of Appeal Judge Kevin Emas. The nominees include Jeffrey DeSousa from the Florida Attorney General's office and Judge Javier Enriquez, whom DeSantis himself appointed to Miami-Dade Circuit Court in 2023.
