It would be a shame if current legislators could restrict future legislators by adding infinite year bonds to all new laws with promises the law will never change as long as that bond exists.

If this principal of preserving bond contracts prohibits legistivative action or could even have a chilling effect on it, perhaps the real issue is that government debt generally is a risk to our democracy. Perhaps congresses should not be allowed to engage in debt terms that exceed the term limit of that congress. (2 years or so).

(I don't want to make any claim with regard to Florida law, nor the politics behind what's happening in Florida.)
