Legislative Session Ends (Kind of)

Well the 2012 Florida Legislative Session drew to a close last Friday. The legislature is being called back into a special session beginning Wednesday though. They must rewrite the Senate redistricting map that was declared unconstitutional by the Florida Supreme Court (the House one was approved). They did get the budget approved which many thought they might also have to take up in the special session. The session will run from March 14th-28th.

Florida lawmakers passed 292 bills of the 2052 that were filed (14% passage rate).

The Palm Beach Post article summarizing the session can be found here:
