From The News Service of Florida:
The Florida Senate and House on Monday began a special legislative session to address a series of issues, including expressing support for Israel amid its war with Hamas, providing additional assistance to areas hit by Hurricane Idalia and expanding a school-voucher program for children with disabilities.
The House and Senate convened Monday at 9 a.m. CT to deal with largely procedural matters, with bills going before committees later in the day. House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, said he expects the full House to give final approval Tuesday to the bills. The Senate could pass them as soon as Wednesday.
