James E. "Jim" King is a Republican member of the Florida Senate, representing the 8th district since 1999. King was President of the Florida Senate from 2002-2004 and also served as the Majority Leader of the Florida Senate from 2000-2002. In 2001 he sponsored a law to prevent public access to autopsy records without the consent of the deceased's next of kin (which resulted from the aftermath of the death of race car driver Dale Earnhardt). In 2005, he led the effort to attempt to block the bill that restarted life support for Terri Schiavo, also known as "Terri's Law". Previously he was a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 1986 through 1999. It should also be noted that he tried to create the first public Chiropractic School in the United States.
