There is only one official week left of the 2020 Florida Legislative Session. The budget conference, when both chambers will work to come to an agreement on budget issues and put forth one General Appropriations Act (GAA), is anticipated to start over the weekend.

While there is the possibility of last minute maneuvering for bill passage, the majority of bills that did not complete the full committee process will not become law this session.
