Week 7 – 3/2/26: Florida Legislature 2026 Session Update: Budget and Key Bills Take Shape
Friday, February 27, 2026, day 48 of the 60-day legislative session. Attention should be shifting to budget negotiations, but high-level negotiations to establish allocations for the various areas of the budget (e.g., education, health and human services, public safety, etc.) have not concluded.
Once the allocations are set, we expect an intense conference process will follow given the very limited amount of time the two sides will have if they are to adjourn on time.
See Week 6 FDDC Legislative Briefing here for a more detailed discussion of the budget process.
