![]() Health and Human Services ‘Live Healthy’ Act Īs FPI discussed in a recent blog post, the Florida Senate passed the “Live Healthy” Act ( SB 7016 and SB 7018) for the 2024 legislative session - a sweeping health care and workforce package that would cost $768 million in FY 2024-25. The final budget will be enacted as of July 1, 2024. The Legislature can then override vetoes if two-thirds of the members, in each chamber, vote to do so. Both chambers will then vote on the proposed GAA, and once it is passed, it will be sent to the governor, who can make line item vetoes and sign the bill into law. The next step in the budget process will be for a Joint Budget Commission to meet and reconcile any differences to propose a General Appropriations Act (GAA) for FY 2024-25. The Florida House’s FY 2024-25 budget proposal (HB 5001) totals $115.5 billion and represents a $969 million (or a 0.83 percent) reduction compared to the current budget. The Florida Senate passed its fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 budget proposal ( SB 2500), which totals $115.9 billion and represents a $578 million (or a 0.50 percent) reduction from the current budget. Still, there are some notable variances, and the funding decisions have both fiscal and policy implications for the state. ![]() ![]() Unlike previous years, the joint budget conference committees will not have many significant differences to negotiate. Overall, the Senate and House budget proposals for FY 2024-25 are quite similar. This post is part of the “Florida Budget Proposals in Brief” blog series, where FPI highlights some of the key components of the House and Senate budget proposals - where they align, how they differ, and what it means for Floridians, communities, and the state economy. ![]()
