The word reestablished means that it used to be established but is no longer established. It is now coming back.

- wholinator2 3y agoNot completely. It also means to disband something that currently exists, then recreate it, effectively reestablishing the board. You are paying attention to only one possible reading, which is the one not consistent with the truth. Citizen review boards exist in Florida. These currently functioning boards will have their power stripped immediately and members will be replaced with captive appointees. This is not creating citizen review boards, this is destroying them
- refurb 3y agoUsing the word “reestablish” in that way would be the confusing and odd considering the multiple other word choices that would be far more precise.
- bee_rider 3y agoNote that this is just a phrase that occurs in the news article, it doesn’t seem to be present in the actual law as far as I can tell.
- bena 3y agoCongress gets "reestablished" every two years. The English government gets "reestablished" every year when the Prime Minister asks to form a government in the Monarch's name. So it could just mean when the current term is up and the new appointees are sworn in.
- bee_rider 3y agoFlorida’s website is a bit confusing to navigate, but I think I found the actual text of the law. https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=79178&SessionId=103 https://myfloridahouse.gov/Sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?B... I think it is under bill text/enrolled. I don’t find the word re-established in there. So, I think that’s just the wording that the newspaper picked. Regardless of any difference between establish or re-establish, it doesn’t really make sense to put too much weight on subtle implications of the newspaper’s wording.
