A: I recently read news article about this lawsuit. This site is for your own legal issues, not general-interest questions. And apparently the suit is based on New York state law, not Florida law. But apparently New York has a statute that allegedly applies in this situation. As I recall, the State of Texas has issued a news release claiming that the statute is in violation of the U.S. constitutional right to interstate travel.
