Florida has 2 songs now, Anthem and Official.

Final follow up to my ranting about Florida's pursuit of a new state song, thanks to many begrudged Floridians, Florida now has two songs. Here's the State Bill:


SB 1558 - Official State Anthem and Official State Song

GENERAL BILL by Hill (CO-SPONSORS) Wilson
Official State Anthem and Official State Song: Designates the song "Florida, Where the Sawgrass Meets the Sky" as the official state anthem. Designates the song "Old Folks at Home," revised lyrics, as adopted by the Center for American Music, Stephen Foster Memorial, at the University of Pittsburgh, as the official state song, etc.
Effective Date: 07/01/2008
