Description
This Week in Politics…it’s almost time to put a lid on Florida’s 2023 Legislative Session. Friday marks Day 60 and lawmakers are poised to tie up some loose ends, give approval to the budget and gavel out.
The takeaways: The Republican super-majorities in each chamber helped Gov. Ron DeSantis check off several of his priorities, delivering what he considers legislative “wins” over the past two months. Things like the 6-week abortion ban, permitless carry, controversial LGBTQ-related measures and changes to the death penalty to name a few.
What’s left: There is only one thing lawmakers must pass every year, the state budget. This week leaders in both chambers reached an agreement on a proposed $117 billion spending plan, a little more expensive than the governor’s proposal earlier this year. Friday they will likely give final approval to the plan after a “72-hour cooling period.”
