It's cute how he doesn't do the grandstanding press signings when it's bills he doesn't want much media coverage and public awareness.

DeSantis signs bill banning heat protection laws for outdoor workers
Rather than sign the bill at a press conference, as DeSantis usually does, the Florida governor opted to quietly sign the controversial bill and announce it during a Thursday night press release alongside nine other bills.
The bill, passed by the Florida Senate in March 2024, makes it so local governments can not require companies to “meet or provide heat exposure requirements beyond those required by law.” Miami-Dade County commissioners took up an ordinance last year that would require employers to provide access to water and breaks in the shade on especially hot days, but it was deferred to this spring.
The ordinance was the culmination of a years-long campaign from local workers’ rights groups in response to heat-related illnesses and deaths in industries such as construction and agriculture.
Currently, there are no federal or state laws ensuring protection from heat exposure for those working outdoors.
