HIGHLIGHTS -

The seventh week of Florida’s 2022 Legislative Session concluded today in Tallahassee, leaving only 15 business days remaining in the session. This week, House members spent a great deal of time both on the floor and in committee, debating several of the more controversial bills of the year and forwarding numerous bills to the Senate or to the Governor. Members of the Senate only sat in session on Wednesday, allocating much of their time for committee meetings this week in order to push forward as many pieces of legislation as possible for chamber meetings to come. Next week, House and Senate committees will meet Monday to prepare for the four days of floor sessions that will follow, and lawmakers are poised to begin budget negotiations early in the week.
