The religious group urges Florida legislators to prevent “law” against Christians

National religious stations (NRB) urged Florida state Legislators oppose on Monday a controversial bill that has a “very real possibility of assembling a wave of” law “against Christian broadcasters,” according to the general advisor of the group.

Senate bill 752which has been widely criticized by conservatives, would amend the Retraction Statute of Florida, which limits defamation damage if a retraction or correction is published, to force editors to also eliminate online content that contains false information. The bill also indicates that an editor must act if a “reasonable person” would conclude that a statement is false.

The NRB, which announces itself as “an international non -partisan association of Christian communicators whose member organizations represent millions of listeners, spectators and readers,” sent a letter to the president of the state Senate of the Republican Party, Ben Albritton, urging legislators to oppose him.

“We urge you your Senate colleagues to oppose SB 752. The legislation is well intentional, but contains serious failures that could negatively affect editors and emitters, including religious broadcasters,” wrote NRB general lawyer Michael Farris obtained in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

“The most significant problem arises from the changes related to the demands of corrections to the articles archived on the website of a broadcaster. The plaintiffs may demand changes to the old publications by one of the two reasons. First, if a statement has been determined that a false declaration has been determined in a judicial procedure. Second, a change can be required if the editor or the Broadcaster notice receives the warning of facts that would cause a person Declaration that was the declaration of the reasonable person to that statement was that the declaration is the false. ” The standard of ‘reasonable person’ is inherently ambiguous in this context is often a matter of perspective or opinion. “

The NRB general lawyer explained that “Christian stations often take positions that disagree with opinions of certain elites within society” and SB 752 could result in the law.

“For example, if a transgender man presents himself as a woman and competes in the sports of girls, and a Christian announcer says that a man has been competing in women’s sports, the station could be potentially demanded under this section by ancient articles on the subject. Armed with ‘evidence’ of the experts who support the affirmation of the gender transition, a plaintiff could see this legislation by which his legislation could see That his new evidence ‘of the experts and that they support the affirmation of the gender transition, a plaintiff could see that the relief of this legislation by which his new evidence referred to a fact that a man does a new genre, at the same time, which makes a claim of a new genre is a fact that a new genre is a fact that a new genre is a fact that a new genre is a fact that a new genre is a A fact that a claim is a fact that a new one. False and defamatory.

“This possibility opens a very real possibility of arming a wave of” law “against Christian broadcasters simply for defending what they think is true,” the letter continued. “The rights of the first amendment are beautiful and manipulations with traditional legal standards is a task that must be carried out with greater attention and precision.”

Ferris concluded the letter urging senators to oppose the bill.

“This legislation must be defeated for now. If there are other problems that this bill seeks to address, it would offer to collaborate with legislators or personnel so that legitimate problems can be addressed without risking damage to broadcasting and editors, of which they share their worldview,” Ferris wrote.
