Florida House urges Congress to take steps on Venezuela

The Florida House is sending a message to Congress to intensify sanctions against Venezuela and to hold President Nicolas Maduro accountable for human rights violations.

The resolution also asks Congress to pressure Venezuela to allow the delivery of humanitarian assistance to the country.

The resolution doesn't have to be approved by the governor. A similar resolution has one more committee stop in the Senate before being considered by the full chamber.
