TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott signed 27 bills into law Thursday, including measures that target speed traps, take aim at "revenge porn" and allow residents of a North Florida fishing village to vote on incorporation.

But in perhaps the highest-profile move, Scott signed what has become known as the beer "growler" bill (SB 186), which will allow half-gallon containers to be filled at breweries, as can be done with other sized bottles.

But don't rush out to fill-er-up just yet; the law doesn't go into effect until July 1. Scott said in signing the measure that he was "eliminating another burdensome regulation."

The sudsy topic had been a heavily lobbied issue in the Capitol the past few years because of objections from large beer distributors.

The distributors pointed to a need to protect the state's Depression-era three-tier regulation system, which has required the manufacture, distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages to be separated.

The bill was filed this year by Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, as a straightforward attempt to repeal the ban on the 64-ounce containers, which are considered the most popular size among "growler" aficionados.

But after some give and take, the final bill includes regulations that would limit cup sizes to 3.5 ounces for beer tastings, ban the use of electronic-benefits transfer cards — formerly known as food stamps — to buy alcoholic beverages and cap at eight the number of tap-room licenses a single brewer can hold.

"Florida brewers should have every tool at their disposal to succeed, and this bill is a huge step in that direction," Latvala said in a statement issued by the governor's office.

Among the other bills signed Thursday is an effort to prevent local police from using traffic-ticket quotas.

The law (SB 264), which also goes into effect July 1, stems from a longstanding speed trap in the small Alachua County town of Waldo, which is along U.S. 301. The town's police department disbanded last year, at least in part because officers disclosed they had been placed under a ticket quota. State law-enforcement agencies are already barred from using ticket quotas, but restrictions on cities and counties have not been so clear.

Another new law (SB 538), going into place Oct. 1, is known as the "revenge porn" bill. It provides penalties for uploading to the Internet sexually explicit images without the consent of the person in the picture.

Scott also signed a measure (SB 766), which starting July 1 will prohibit the use of aerial drones to capture images that could infringe on the privacy of property owners or occupants.

Also, he signed a bill (HB 593) that allows residents in the Wakulla County fishing village of Panacea --- population 816 --- to decide if they want to incorporate as a city. The name of the community, located 28 miles south of Tallahassee, comes from small sulfurous mineral springs in the area that were purported to have healing properties.
