The Florida Legislature concluded its Special Session on Wednesday, January 29, resulting in the passage of an immigration bill that now awaits approval from Governor Ron DeSantis. Below is a brief recap of the session and key provisions of the bill relevant to Florida’s municipalities.
Governor DeSantis originally called for a Special Session to address multiple issues, including immigration, condominium regulations, disaster relief for agriculture, and the My Safe Florida Home program. However, in a surprising move, legislative leaders opted to convene their own Special Session, focusing exclusively on immigration policy. The Governor has indicated he will veto the bill. The only question that remains is, will he call another special session?
