2022 Legislative Session Wraps Up...Almost |
The 2022 Florida Legislative Session has wrapped up on Friday with time running out in its 60-day regular session; the only problem is the session ended without the 2023 budget passing.
Today, the legislature is returning to Tallahassee for overtime to vote on the $112.1 billion budget. The state constitution mandates that the House and Senate wait three days after the budget comes out of conference committee meetings before they vote, and it's sent to the governor's desk to be signed or vetoed.
While we wait for the official end of the session, here are some highlights:
- 3,685 bills were filed
- 2,588 were general bills
- 267 passed both chambers
- Some of the bills that passed both chambers include an extension of COVID liability protection and extending Visit Florida until 2028
Be on the lookout for the 2022 final session wrap-up, including the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce's 2022 Legislative Scorecard.
