The Senate voted to over-ride the Governor’s Veto of
SB 2500. Senator Latvala explained that this is a fall back in case the
chambers cannot come to agreement on a new bill and they have an option
to vote on 2500 to keep the schools open. Latvala has filed another bill to
increase the FEFP by $215 million, however, the Senate does not know from where
they will take the money. There has been some discussion to shift the cost back
to the school district by increasing the required local effort. Senator Simmons
raised the legality about have having two bills dealing with the same subject ,
but received an inadequate response.
They also voted to expand the scope of the special session
contrary to the Governor’s proclamation. The additional bills presented:
4A Medicaid
6A Public Records
8A Medical Use of Marijuana
House is in the Appropriations committee considering 1A
which includes Visit Florida, Enterprise Florida and the training grant
(available to technical centers). Bill 1A passed on of the House Appropriations
committee.
