The Florida Legislature is gearing up for its 2025 session, and a variety of critical topics are on the agenda. Lawmakers are expected to take up issues impacting Floridians from all walks of life.
Guns and Gun Control One of the most prominent issues to be addressed this session will be gun control. Lawmakers are contemplating a potential loosening of gun restrictions. This is expected to be a contentious issue sparking potentially heated debate among legislators due to the sensitivity of the topic.
Immigration and the Role of Employers Another subject likely to draw significant attention is immigration. The session will consider propositions that would place responsibilities on employers regarding the hiring of individuals who are in the U.S. without proper documentation. The legislative action could significantly reshape the relationship between businesses and immigration policy.
State Parks and Environmental Conservation Protecting Florida’s natural resources will also be a key focus. Discussion will involve the future of state parks and plans to preserve the state’s unique natural beauty. Lawmakers will weigh plans protecting the state’s environment.
Property Taxes Property taxes are another significant point of consideration during this legislative year. Proposals aimed at managing property taxes could see a range of amendments, so the issue is slated to be a source of significant debate throughout the session.
The Governor’s Influence The relationship between the Florida Legislature and Governor Ron DeSantis looms large, especially considering upcoming elections. The effectiveness of their collaboration will influence the outcomes of many important decisions.
