As state lawmakers hold committee meetings in Tallahassee this week, the call for a special session is generating more buzz and putting Gov. Ron DeSantis at odds with leaders in the Florida Capitol. So, what happens if they're not on the same page? On Monday, DeSantis ordered a special legislative session to kick off on Jan. 27, a week after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration and a little more than a month before lawmakers are set to convene for their regular session. In his proclamation, the governor laid out a series of key issues he wants legislators to tackle: rising condo costs, hurricane relief and election security — headlined by supporting Trump's incoming deportation program. DeSantis emphasized that with Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, the United States will experience a “sea change” in immigration policies, particularly with regard to illegal immigration. DeSantis vowed that Florida would be supporting incoming federal efforts in the matter. "Today, I called for a special session of the Florida legislature the week of January 27 to prepare Florida to lead on the Trump Administration’s deportation program," the governor said on social media. "We will allocate resources and ensure state and local officials in Florida are supporting these efforts. We have no time to waste. Florida must lead." The governor’s Republican allies in the legislature were quick to jump on board. “President Trump has received a mandate from the American people, Florida should lead from the front on these critical matters as we always do,” State Sen. Jay Collins (R-Tampa) posted on X. However, Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez issued a joint memo rebuffing the special session order. "While the Governor discussed fragments of ideas for a special session he plans to start in just fourteen days, he did not release any actual bill language or even meaningful details for legislators and our constituents to consider," their memorandum read. During his announcement, DeSantis said that while state lawmakers are meeting to discuss Trump's deportation program, they should also address "ballot initiative integrity, disaster relief, and condominium regulations." However, Albritton and Perez said these are "complex subjects" that should be considered during the regular session which is set to begin March 4. Their concerns echoed those previously voiced by Florida Democratic leaders. "The problem with special session is that things move too quickly. There's not the opportunity for bills to be fully vetted for the public to have the sort of input they typically will," State Rep. Fentrice Driskell (D-Tampa) said.
