TALLAHASSEE - Bans on using state dollars for university embryonic stem cell research and student trips to Cuba
and other terrorist-linked countries will not be in Florida's budget.
Rep. David Rivera, the House's chief education budget negotiator, agreed Sunday to drop those provisions from his chamber's spending plan.
No similar provisos are in the Senate's version of the state budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1. Talks on other issues continued Sunday.
The restriction on community college and university visits would have applied to four countries deemed by the State Department to be sponsors of terrorism: Cuba, Iran, Syria and Sudan.
