When I did searches on both SB202 and HB187, I came up with nothing relating
to beer or beer container sizes.
For example, here is what I came up with for 2001 on SB202:

And HB187 seems to be a bill for Revised foster care reimbursement rate.
This must be a local Florida bill. If so, how would that affect the rest of
us?

frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!
