The proposed constitutional amendment known as Amendment 4 would allow abortions up to about the 24th week of pregnancy, just as Florida law had allowed up until Gov. Ron DeSantis enacted a 15-week abortion ban in 2022.

Pier Sixty-Six, the landmark that rises high and stands out with its crown of spires, could be deemed a historic structure in Fort Lauderdale, preserving it forever.
The Fort Lauderdale City Commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday to give the property’s original tower a “historic designation as a historic landmark,” keeping the 1950s-era exterior intact, according to city records.
It’s considered important for its historic associations with the Phillips Petroleum Company.
“It is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable and significant structures in Fort Lauderdale and represents an important historical time in our city’s history,” said Vice Mayor Steven Glassman.
The public meeting will be at 6 p.m.
