TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV/Gray Florida Capital Bureau) - Florida is being sued over a new law changing how citizen-led initiatives get on the ballot. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the reforms into law just minutes after it was approved by the legislature on Friday. It was one of DeSantis’ priorities this year and was part of the special session call that the legislature snubbed in January.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV/Gray Florida Capital Bureau) - Changes are now in effect for how citizens will get proposals on the ballot in Florida. Friday night, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed HB 1205 into law. The bill puts more requirements on groups wanting to change the state constitution. This was one of the original issues DeSantis wanted lawmakers to take up in the first special session in January. He and Republican lawmakers claim there is too much fraud in the process to change the constitution.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV/Gray Florida Capital Bureau) — The final day of the Florida legislature has passed, but work still needs to be done. Lawmakers went back to their districts, only knowing they would be back before the end of June. “I don’t want to make any formal updates until we have all the necessary pieces worked out,” House Speaker Rep. Daniel Perez, (R) Miami, said. The pomp and circumstance celebration traditionally associated with Sine Die didn’t happen this year.

RT @fineout: Article III, Sec. 4 - all prearranged gatherings ... between the governor, the president ... or the speaker... the purpose of…
RT @fineout: Hmm. RPOF is proposing a “leadership summit” between @GovRonDeSantis & legislative leaders … so about that https://t.co/VE6n…
Another fun fact: it is possible come July 1, Florida won’t have a budget or CFO. Gov. DeSantis has said he’s waiting for the session to end to appoint someone. Likely a senator.
Fun Fact: In 1993, the legislature passed the budget shortly after midnight on July 1. (They turned out the lights at midnight as a joke before passing the budget since state government was technically shut down) https://t.co/d5I5hYZ9uL
