House provides information on next steps and why they closed the House Chamber early.

 

 

Status of bills now that the House has Adjourned for the 2015 Session

Sorted by Bill Number
Bill	Title	Sponsor
0982	Relating to Florida Civil Rights Act	Thompson
7019	Relating to Workforce Services	Economic Development & Tourism Subcommittee
7028	Relating to Educational Opportunities for Veterans	Military and Veterans Affairs, Space, and Domestic Security
7069	Relating to Education Accountability	Education Committee

 

The Governor has signed 7069 and the others are awaiting his signature. There were bills that will move to be enrolled as a result of the action of the House and Senate today.

948 and 7127 will die because they have not been approved by both chambers and will have no opportunity for action now that the House is adjourned for the 2015 regular session.

7125 was in messages to the Senate last Friday but they referenced it to three committees.
