Florida lawmakers approved a $114.5 billion spending plan after a special session, finalizing the state budget. The plan is approximately $500 million smaller than the current $115.1 billion budget. During the process, House Speaker Daniel Perez insisted on reducing the current budget, while Senate President Ben Albritton preferred to keep funding levels essentially stable.

The approved budget includes record K-12 funding, major transportation spending, and a $196 million allocation to support the citrus industry. Separately, Ron DeSantis proposed an amendment to eliminate property taxes for 92% of Floridians by raising the homestead exemption to $500,000, which would reduce small business property tax assessments from 10% to 5%.
