Description

In this episode of UPDATE 850, we recap the activities that occurred during the legislative week leading up to Florida's upcoming session. We also announce the Florida Coalition for Children's 2023 Rally in Tally, which will be held at Florida’s Capitol building. The event offers an opportunity for legislative and coalition members to meet and discuss ways to improve Florida’s child welfare system on behalf of the children and families they serve. During the week, committee meetings were held, and experts such as Office of Economic and Demographic Research Director Amy Baker and Health Care Appropriations Staff Directors Brian Clark and Tonya Money presented forecasts for Florida’s healthcare programs that serve children and families. The episode also covers the press conferences held by House Democrats, Senate Democrats, and a bi-partisan group concerning new social media protection regulations for minors. We round off the week with the Joint legislative Budget Commission meeting, the Press Conference and Rally on African American Studies in Florida Schools, and the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. The podcast provides insights into the upcoming regular session of the legislature in the next two months.
