The legislators Florida Ready Tallahassee Return, which are tackled over 1,800 invoices

The legislative session in Florida begins in less than 24 hours, in the middle of the tensions about the immigration period last month between the legislator and the governor. The dynamics, which shapes 60-day legislation as legislators, powerful: frustrated voters who are looking for a shared legislation of high living costs, a paralyzing governor, and is looking for a flood of invoices on the docket. Here is a preview of what will come.

Members of the State House and the Senate have submitted a whopping 1,800 invoices, many of which are on the omnipresent “A-word” concentration-in-depth. The spokesman for the Florida House, Danny Perez (R-Mami), takes especially for the apartment and is looking for more affordable. A few months ago, he told us that it was the key to keeping Floridians for future generations in the state.

“What can we do in the state that makes it more affordable to keep our talent here,” asked Perez.

So far, an omnibus apartment invoice has not been published. Instead, several smaller guidelines have won headlines. Among them aimed at the legislation:

  • Allow the construction of carriage houses, regardless of the local regulations.
  • Prevent from buying houses outside of the state and transforming them into rental objects.

Governor Ron Desantis (R-FL) has also experienced the idea of ​​making property tax relief, which suggests changes in the implementation of ownership reviews:

“You buy your house seven years ago for 300,000 US dollars,” he said last week.

Significant changes, such as a rollback from the property taxes, would require a constitutional change. At the moment there is only one legislative template to examine the potential effects of such cuts – although critics warn that local governments would have to rely on increases in sales tax in order to meet losses.

On the other side of the Capitol building, Senate President Ben Albritton (R-Bartow) focuses on the revival of less populated Florida areas with a “rural Renaissance”. He supports plans to improve the infrastructure, access to healthcare and the limitation of agriculture.

“We will support agriculture because this is the backbone of these economies,” said Albritton recently. “We have to make sure it is alive and good.”

There are some top -class controversial bills that could achieve a traction this year. This includes:

  • Parents allow the death of a fetus.
  • E-verify for all companies in Florida and responsibility for violent measures through undocumented workers.
  • A proposal to revoke a state -supported insurance company for condominiums that do not comply with the new safety laws for buildings.

MP Juan Carlos Porras (R-Mami) helps under the supporters of this security calculation of the condominiums. He defended the measure when we spoke last week.

“In this case, it is the government's job to offer a little hard love,” said the legislator. “But if it leads to the security and integrity of our residents' health, it is important. And I think that has to be a priority for the state. And that's exactly what we do. “

In the meantime, Democrats in Florida House released their priorities of 2025 on Monday. Rep. Fentrice Driskell (D-TAMPA) emphasized a focus on the support of families in Florida and the protection of the state's natural resources:

“We want to concentrate on Florida's families and future, and we have to support and protect our people, our country, our water and our economy,” she said.

The most important suggestions include:

  • Higher payment for teachers.
  • Expansion of Medicaid.
  • Support for tenants.
  • Stricter weapons control measures.

But even the most modest democratic victories seem to be unlikely in view of their supermine status in both chambers. Driskell confirmed the hard fight.

“It is unlikely that one of these invoices would get a hearing. It is absolutely possible that some of these concepts are introduced to laws that are moving,” said the guide. “We only know that as a Caucus you can sometimes have no pride in the authorship, but what is really important is to ensure that we deliver for the people in Florida.”

The session begins at different times for each chamber on Tuesday, with the state of the governor of the governor planned for 11:00 a.m.
