JUST IN: Gov. DeSantis signs Florida's new voting legislation into law that enacts restrictions on voting by mail and at drop boxes. on.msnbc.com/3b6Tseg
DeSantis signed the bill, which was passed by the GOP-controlled legislature last month, live on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" during an interview.
Throughout the week, the governor had been holding more formal bill-signing ceremonies across the state as he signed bills into law.
The legislation enacts a host of changes, including limits on where drop boxes could be placed, restrictions on who can drop off a voter's ballot, a mandate that drop boxes be staffed while open, and a requirement that voters must request to vote-by-mail more frequently.
The new laws go into effect immediately, in time for local elections, the forthcoming special House election to replace the late Rep. Alcee Hastings and next year's midterms, which will include elections for governor and the US Senate.

SPECIAL REPORT: Texas was hit by the biggest carbon monoxide catastrophe in recent U.S. history during February's storm.

Many poisoning victims had no CO alarms in their homes — Texas is one of the few states that don't require them.

on.msnbc.com/2Pyldoy
At least 11 deaths have been confirmed and more than 1,400 people sought care at emergency rooms and urgent care clinics for carbon monoxide poisoning during the weeklong Texas outage in February. Children made up 42% of the cases.
Black, Hispanic and Asian Texans suffered a disproportionate share of the carbon monoxide poisonings, @propublica, @TexasTribune and @NBCNews found based on a review of hospital data. They accounted for 72% of the poisonings, far more than their 57% share of Texas' population.

NEW: Florida's Senate advanced a restrictive voting bill Monday that includes limits on casting ballots by mail and drop boxes over the concerns of Democrats and voting-rights activists, who say the bill would create significant new barriers to voters. on.msnbc.com/2QTTOxH
The Republican-led Senate approved the bill in a largely party-line vote, with one Republican joining all Democrats to vote against it after weeks of contentious debate.
The legislation would limit where drop boxes can be placed and would require those casting ballots that way to show identification to an election official first.
