Florida legislature

Florida legislative leaders are negotiating next year's state budget behind closed doors — a secretive process Gov. Ron DeSantis compared to selecting a pope.

Florida lawmakers are heading back to Tallahassee Tuesday after failing to pass a spending plan during the regular session for the second year in a row.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed into law a new congressional map, reworking 21 of Florida’s 28 U.S. House districts. A voting rights group quickly filed a lawsuit.

The new map makes significant changes to 21 of Florida's 28 congressional districts, a shift that could flip four seats from Democrats to Republicans.

Florida lawmakers approved a new congressional map that could expand Republicans' advantage in the U.S. House and is expected to draw lawsuits.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed laws targeting DEI programs and some climate policies. Here's what changed.

Legislative leaders announced the session is set for May 12 - 29. It will follow a special session on redistricting, AL, and school vaccines.

Florida cities and counties will soon be banned from funding or promoting diversity programs and enacting net zero policies that reduce greenhouse gases.

The extension of the program aims to reduce drowning, which is the leading cause of accidental deaths in Florida kids between 1 and 4 years old.

Florida lawmakers will convene for a special session next week. It does not include work on the state budget or property tax cuts pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
