Delray Beach officials say a new state law restricting local government support for DEI-related activities bars the city from organizing, funding or promoting its 2027 St. Patrick’s Day parade and Pride event. The law, SB 1134, was signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis in April and takes effect Jan. 1, 2027. In a statement, the city said it had reviewed the legislation and was legally prohibited from holding the events. Coverage reports that residents were angered by the decision, and Mayor Tom Carney said he had received numerous messages of outrage. According to the New York Post, officials who violate the law can be suspended or removed from office by the governor.
