Florida accidentally bans banks from doing business in the state . . .

The law appeared to ban any bank that had been punished by the Securities and Exchange Commission or other authorities from selling a range of securities to investors, according to people familiar with the matter. The problem is that nearly all of the country's big banks—from JPMorgan Chase to Goldman Sachs—have been in trouble with the law at some point. Wall Street Journal
