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

  • The House and Senate released a final budget at 1:32 p.m., which means session can’t end until that same time on Saturday at the earliest because of the 72-hour cooling off requirement.
  • The school safety bill that would allow more teachers to carry guns in schools was approved by the House and heads to the Governor.
  • Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill that will increase penalties for harming or killing police dogs and horses and fire and search and rescue dogs.
