"Thursday, March 19th concluded the 2020 Legislative Session with a non-traditional Sine Die ceremony due to the Novel Covid-19 outbreak. Instead of the usual grand ceremony where the Sergeants from both the Senate and House drop the white handkerchiefs while lobbyists, elected officials and staff look on, the two Sergeants stood six feet away with just one camera recording while they dropped the handkerchiefs to the floor. It was followed by a telephonic media availability with Governor DeSantis, Speaker Oliva and President Galvano. Definitely not a normal close to the legislative session.
I believe this year’s $93.2 billion budget is fiscally responsible and prioritizes funding in the best interest of all Floridians. I'm sure the number one question about the budget will be how much is Florida going to spend on the Covid-19 response? We have budgeted $60.6 million for now and have over $4 billion in reserves if necessary."
