Week 6 of the 2024 Florida Legislative Session has concluded, with the Legislature scheduled to remain in session until March 8th.
Regrettably, Florida Republicans persist in being disconnected from the needs of Floridians. Instead of addressing the property insurance crisis during this session, Governor Ron DeSantis and his Republican supermajority prioritize regressive measures such as rolling back child labor laws, repealing gun reforms enacted after the Parkland tragedy, safeguarding Confederate monuments, and removing climate change provisions from state statutes.
In contrast, Florida Democrats are committed to improving the lives of Floridians. They are actively promoting bills aimed at ensuring cleaner drinking water, expanding career opportunities for students, increasing access to life-saving HIV prevention medication, and providing property tax relief for disabled veterans.
