Florida Lawmakers Fail to Pass Budget, Head to Special Session; Property Taxes in Spotlight
Florida lawmakers ended their regular session without a state budget for the second consecutive year, due to a $1.4 billion spending dispute between the House and Senate. They will reconvene in mid-April for a special session to resolve the issue. Despite weeks of closed-door talks, leaders failed to reach a consensus on spending priorities. Democrats criticized the stalemate as legislative gridlock, while Republicans proposed eliminating property taxes, with a potential ballot measure in November 2026. This years session passed fewer bills, leaving affordability concerns unaddressed, and lawmakers will return for another special session on congressional redistricting.
