Based on case law, the way to read this from the Florida constitution:
No bill of attainder, ex post facto law or law impairing the obligation of contracts shall be passed.
Is:
No bill of attainder shall be passed.No ex post facto law shall be passed.No law impairing the obligation of contracts shall be passed.
In Calder v. Bull, the U.S. Supreme Court held that ex post facto laws only apply to criminal matters.
I knew punctuation was important.
