Florida is the second best state for business, again, behind Texas, according to a 2023 Chief Executive Best and Worst States for Business report. The magazine has surveyed the top U.S. CEOs since 2021. Every year, Texas ranks first.

Florida ranked second for the second year in a row for its “low taxes and strong stance against pandemic-motivated business shutdowns,” the report notes.

This year, state lawmakers filed another bill, HB 1069, to extend prohibitions on public school classroom instruction regarding gender identity and sexual orientation through eighth grade. The bill passed the House and was received in the Senate. During a recent four-country trade mission trip, DeSantis touted Florida’s strong economy and pro-business environment as the main reasons for residents and businesses relocating to Florida.

As a result, DeSantis said, Florida's the fastest growing state in the U.S. It's also the number one state for net in-migration every year since he's been governor, he said. In the year after COVID-19, Florida had $24 billion in adjusted gross income move into Florida, followed by Texas' $6.5 billion, he said.
