Senator Lauren Book wants to make a "Soliciting for Prostitution" Registry (SB 540)

The difference between a politician and a prostitute is that a prostitute
usually screws only one person at a time for money
Senator Lauren Book filed SB 540, which, among other things, will create a "Solicitation of Prostitution" registry. Proponents of legalizing sex work in America should be very concerned about this bill.

The definition of IRONY: Florida's least truthful Senator files bill to make lying in legislature a felony

Senator Lauren Book

The dumbest, least truthful FloriDUH state Senator, Lauren Book and her twice-convicted criminal father have built their careers by lying numerous times before legislature. Now the bimbo filed the "Truth in Government Act" (SB 58) "deleting provisions regarding the administration of oaths and affirmations to witnesses appearing before legislative committees, and associated penalties, to conform to changes made by the act; requiring that persons addressing a legislative committee take an oath or affirmation of truthfulness; providing criminal penalties for certain false statements before a legislative committee, etc."

But it should come as no surprise that Book made herself an exclusion to the bill so she won't be locked up for lying. However, daddy Book could theoretically be jailed for lying. I'd pay to see him behind bars where he belongs!

“I swear to tell the truth:” Lawmaker files bill that would make lying in Legislature a felony
By Julie Hauserman -January 2, 2019

It’s no secret that the Legislature is a place where lawmakers and lobbyists sometimes – shall we say –  stretch the truth to make a point. A South Florida state senator has just filed legislation which would require people who give testimony in the Legislature to take an oath that they’ll tell the truth.

“Any person who addresses a standing or select  committee, or a subcommittee thereof, shall first declare that  he or she will speak truthfully by taking an oath or affirmation in substantially the following form: ‘Do you swear or affirm  that the information you are about to share will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?’ The person’s answer must be noted in the record,” the “Truth in Government Act” reads, in part.

The penalty for lying would be a third-degree felony.

It doesn’t apply to legislators themselves, however. But a legislator (or legislative staffer) caught in a falsehood “is subject to discipline by the presiding officer of the applicable house of the Legislature for making a false statement that he or she does not believe to be true,” the draft bill says.

The legislation was filed by Sen. Lauren Book, a Democrat from Plantation who has been in the Legislature since 2016.

The 2019 Legislature formally convenes in March, but is holding committee meetings to discuss issues and proposed legislation in January and February. The “Truth in Government Act” gets its first public discussion on Monday, Jan. 7, in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
