Tonight on TS Radio Network, Peggy Dupree and Betty Gosnel return to talk about looming bills in Florida. The Guardianship Jurisdiction Act if passed through the House and Senate, prevents any official,guardian, physician, or third party vendors from being held liable or charged with any indictments from the grand jury under the RICO Act of 1970.

These sections include taking testimony in another state and determining if a respondent has a significant connection with a particular state court.
