TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) – With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing and fall elections looming, Florida lawmakers will start the annual 60-day legislative session Tuesday.
Here are 10 big issues to watch during the session:
— ABORTION, BUDGET, CRITICAL RACE THEORY, EDUCATION, ELECTIONS, HEALTHCARE AND COVID-19, IMMIGRATION, SCHOOL BOARDS, TAXES
As well as:
— INSURANCE: With private insurers dropping policies and customers flooding into the state-backed Citizens Property Insurance Corp., lawmakers will again consider making changes to the property-insurance system. Lawmakers in recent years have tried to address issues such as curbing litigation over insurance claims, but problems persist in the industry.
