Last week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill to invest $70 million in programs that support involved fatherhood in his state. In Illinois, a similar program was set up in 2004, but it hasn’t received 70 cents.
The Florida bill, dubbed the “Responsible Fatherhood” bill, aims to encourage fathers to take an active role in their children”s lives and provides grants to community-based membership programs.
