Legislature Back for Special Session on Budget

Legislature Back for Special Session on Budget

The Florida legislature is back in session from June 1 through as late as June 20 with the primary objective of passing a state budget.  The special session became necessary when the House of Representatives abruptly ended its work in the regular session three days early over a disagreement with the Senate as to healthcare funding.  The next state fiscal year begins July 1, so the legislature needs to pass a budget by then to ensure the continued operation of state agencies.
