The campaign to rename BK Roberts Hall at Florida State University's law school is off to a good start in 2021 as the legislative delegation for Leon County last week unanimously agreed to proceed with the filing of a bill that would remove Roberts' name from the building. The bill language repeals the 1973 law that placed Roberts' name on the building, clearing the way for FSU to choose a new name. The four legislators who represent all or part of Leon County--Sen. Loranne Ausley and Reps. Alison Tant, Ramon Alexander and Jason Shoaf--all voted to advance the local bill. The sponsors decided to file the proposal as a local rather than a general bill this year, since local bills sometimes follow a more streamlined path through the legislature. The measure must still pass the house and senate and be signed by the governor before it takes effect. It is expected to get a bill number in a few weeks and be assigned to a committee for a hearing as the next step. The legislative session starts March 2, but committee hearings are already taking place.
