Florida New Laws 2013 Include Bong Ban, Faster Death Penalty, Drone Restrictions (PHOTOS)

What's Now Illegal In Florida, Starting Today

If the guy behind the deli counter sneezes while making your sandwich today, or you see a bunch a teens trying to smoke weed out of apple cores, it's because Monday 200 new laws go into effect in Florida.

Chief among the new legislation is a ban on bongs and a state law that overrides any sick leave laws passed on the local level.

But Gov. Rick Scott's pen didn't stop there.

He also signed laws speeding up the death penalty, fining slow drivers, restricting drones, and banning certain animal beauty treatments -- all of which take effect July 1.
