May 1, 2023 | Legislative Reporter This is the last week of the legislative session. To date, 1,828 bills have been filed and 102 have passed both chambers. At this late date in session, bills that have not made progress in committee are likely not to pass before session is scheduled to end this Friday, May 5. 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 thirty days, the governor has 15 consecutive days from the date of presentation to act on the bill.

Please review it to see the bills filed that APA Florida is tracking.
