For the third time, the state House has passed a bill lowering the age to buy rifles and shotguns to 18 — but the measure hasn't moved in the Senate

They're backing two bills: One to allow visits between siblings when one is in foster care and another to extend housing vouchers statewide

The bill has a strong supporter in Senate President Ben Albritton

It would recruit case managers, combat child sex trafficking, and create a professional foster care pilot program

The proposal aims to create “opportunities for rural communities to expand education offerings, increase health care services, and modernize commerce” according to a release announcing the bills filing.

The measure puts a focus on early detection and intervention

The measure would designate the University of Florida's Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment as the state hub for research, services and best practices

The plan would expand a pilot program that pays growers to provide excess dairy, beef and eggs to food banks
