Description
In this episode of Update 850, we take a closer look at week 2 of the Florida Legislature. Although the week started with less fanfare, it was still full of activity as advocates crowded committees to voice their opinions on matters of the day. Governor DeSantis had a relatively light week in the sunshine state, relying on his team to manage the day-to-day of the legislative session. We discuss the State's Public Health Integrity Committee meeting, the Governor's round table with leaders in the State's higher education system to discuss Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs, and the Senate's initial approval of the State's Surgeon General. We also touch on the Senate's tort reform package, Governor DeSantis's announcement of Florida's approval of over $46.6 Million to conserve 21,000 Acres, and the Second Annual Spring 2023 Florida Space Art Contest for K-5 Students. Finally, we delve into the House's Children, Families and Seniors subcommittee meeting, the House Justice Appropriations Subcommittee hearing. Join us as we delve deeper into the second week of the Florida Legislature.
