April 7, 2023 | Legislative Reporter There are four weeks remaining before the 2023 legislative session is scheduled to end on May 5. Bills continue to move through the committee process. Over the past week, the following bill of interest was passed by both chambers: • CS/SB 106 – Florida Shared Use Nonmotorized Trail Network (Recap on pp. 6) Every bill passed by the legislature is presented to the governor for approval and becomes a law if the governor approves and signs it, or fails to veto it within seven consecutive days after presentation. If during that period or on the seventh day the legislature adjourns sine die or takes a recess of more than 30 days, the governor has 15 consecutive days from the date of presentation to act on the bill.
