State Rep. Manny Diaz, Jr., R-Hialeah, on Wednesday filed a proposal to "expresses disagreement with [the] decision of federal government to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba."

The bill, HM 727, would also urge Congress to "uphold the embargo until such a time when this arcane dictatorship is no longer in power and the most basic human and civil rights are once again recognized in Cuba."

"It's important that we make known our dissatisfaction with the Obama administration negotiating with a terrorist regime that has not made any concessions," Diaz said Wednesday.

His proposal voices further opposition to the potential opening of a Cuban consulate in Florida.

"I think that would cause a tremendous problem in our community," he said. "It would be a safety issue."
