Florida State Rep. Kelly Skidmore of Delray Beach will be the guest speaker for the LWV-MC Reproductive Rights Action Team meeting. Rep. Skidmore is the sponsor of HB 6001, a bill to abolish the nearly $30 million spent each year by the state of Florida to fund “faux medical clinics” designed solely to steer women away from abortion. 

Representative Skidmore’s many legislative achievements include the creation of a statewide database for pain medicine prescriptions in 2009 and, in 2022, clarifying in statute that public schools may provide menstrual products in student bathrooms. This past legislative session, Representative Skidmore passed landmark legislation to increase research of Sickle Cell Disease and expand the state’s Sickle Cell Disease registry.
