A hearing is set for a lawsuit challenging Florida's new anti-riot bill, H.B.1, the first legal test for the legislation that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said will combat disorder.

The hearing is set for Aug. 30, and will be held in U.S. District Court in Tallahassee, WMNF reported. Chief Judge Mark Walker will hear from the plantiffs, including the American Civil Liberties Union, Black Collective, NAACP and Dream Defenders, the radio station reported.

The organizations sued DeSantis, state Attorney General Ashley Moody (R) and others in May over whether a new bill that aimed at "combating public disorder" was constitutional.
