The article reports that HB 35-E is valid prospective legislation designed to protect the rights of certain persons with disabilities who have not stated, and are currently unable to state, their desires. It exemplifies the principle that the legislature may effectively reverse a judicial decision. U.S. Congress has repeatedly done so to protect the civil rights of people with disabilities, women and minorities. HB 35-E does not dictate to Florida courts how a case should be decided, does not require final judgments to be reopened and does not grant the Governor Jeb Bush the ability to review court decisions. As applied to Ms.Michael Schiavo, HB 35-E reverses only the consequence of a judgment for an incapacitated woman who may not want to die.
