Capitol Update is a weekly review of state government. This week’s topics include:
The Florida Supreme Court upheld Florida’s 15-week ban on abortions, opening the door for the more recent 6-week ban to go into effect.
Justices also ruled that a proposed constitutional amendment to broaden abortion rights can appear on the November ballot, along with an amendment legalizing recreational marijuana.
The Governor signed more than a dozen bills into law, including one that will dedicate state revenue from the Seminole Tribe gaming compact to environmental projects.
