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

  • After behind the scenes maneuvering to get the bill heard, a House committee unanimously advanced legislation that would give cancer benefits to firefighters.
  • Both the House and Senate are moving forward with a proposal to ban sanctuary cities in Florida – one of the Governor’s priority bills.
  • Technology, seersucker suits, and a university with a rattler for a mascot – that’s what the state Capitol showed off this week as people visited from all over the state.
