Plaintiffs’ attorneys and many Democratic lawmakers argue that trying to limit lawsuits and legal fees will unfairly affect injured people.

DeSantis outlined a legislative proposal to expand rules to prevent state pension investments that use ratings he and other Republican leaders consider “woke.”

House Speaker Paul Renner unveiled a bill last week that would allow people to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.

Current prohibitions on carrying guns at places such as schools and athletic events would continue to apply.

The proposal was approved by a House subcommittee along almost-straight party lines.

Florida House Speaker Paul Renner's plan would move the state closer to what's called "vouchers for all." The path toward universal school choice has been laid out during the past 25 years.

It would set up education savings accounts that, among other things, could be sued toward private-school tuition. Home-schooled students would also be eligible.

State lawmakers will meet to pass more legislation aimed at fixing the troubled property insurance market, which took another blow after Hurricane Ian destroyed thousands of homes.

New House Speaker Paul Renner said there’s a "pro-life" majority in the legislature now but, he added, "I can guarantee you that members on both sides have very different opinions about what it means to be pro-life.”

After the 120 Florida House districts were redrawn this year in the once-a-decade reapportionment process, Republicans and Democrats are battling in a relative handful of races in the Nov. 8 elections.

Said DeSantis: “Our investment of funds should be for the best interest of our beneficiaries here in the state of Florida, it should not be a vehicle to impose an ideological agenda.”

Kathleen Passidomo and Paul Renner made their comments as the Republican Party of Florida opened its Sunshine Summit.
