NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference Wednesday morning in New Smyrna Beach to sign the state's budget for the new fiscal year.
The governor spoke at The Garlic, an Italian restaurant, at 10:30 a.m.
DeSantis's news conference comes one day after his stop in Jacksonville to sign an education bill that included a ban on transgender athletes from competing in school sports in Florida. The controversial measure coincided with the first day of LGBT Pride Month.
The subject of Wednesday's news conference was not specified in a news release announcing the conference. Tuesday, the governor received 13 bills from the Florida Legislature, his administration said in a news release.
