Capitol Update – Nightly During Session – Friday, March 22, 2019

Capitol Update is daily review of state government during the Legislative Session. Today’s topics include:

• The House and Senate released budget proposals that are less than half a billion dollars apart.
• Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law the bill that legalizes the smokable form of medical marijuana, and by week’s end patients were able to buy that form of the medication.
• A House committee approved a bill that would require parental approval for a minor to get an abortion, rather than the notification required now.
