The legislative meeting in Florida begins with immigration at the forefront

The legislative period of Florida 2025 begins on Tuesday with the legislators Florida in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, which deals with a number of urgent questions.

Immigration remains a main focus in January after a special meeting of governor Ron Desantis.

During the special meeting in January it was expected that President Donald Trump would issue executive commands in relation to immigration, which prompted legislators Florida to create invoices for setting up the president's guidelines.

However, the session took an unexpected turn when the legislature ended the governor's special meeting and initiated its own. The spokesman for the House, Danny Perez, expressed concerns that the governor's proclamation was too tight in order to meet the president's needs.

Despite these challenges, the legislature passed the legislation that aimed to curb illegal immigration with Desantis' support. However, the discussion about immigration is far from over, with several bills on the agenda for the current meeting.

Important immigration calculations:

  • HB 891: This law was introduced by Rep. Lauren Melo from Naples and is a companion of Senator Joe Gruders. SB 1258. Both legislative templates suggest that state -issued IDS contain an indication of whether a person is a citizen or not.

  • SB 782: This legislation, which is used by the democratic chairman of the democratic chairman of the Senate, Jason Pizzo from North Miami, offers the support of Republican Senator Gruders. It is tried to oblige the E-Verify system to check the authorization to employ new employees by all private employers.

In the course of the legislative period, these legislative templates of voters and stakeholders are closely observed throughout Florida. The results of these discussions could have a significant impact on immigration policy and enforcement measures by the state.
