Florida extends emergency fund to 2027, allowing $4.7B use for disasters and immigration; House must act by Monday to prevent expiration.
The Florida Senate extended the Emergency Preparedness and Response Fund to December 2027, allowing continued use of over $4.7 billion for both disasters and immigration enforcement.
Critics, including Democratic lawmakers, call the fund a slush fund with insufficient oversight, noting nearly $573 million was spent on immigration operations since 2023, including private contracts and vendor payments.
Despite proposed reforms requiring legislative approval for emergency extensions, they have not advanced.
The House must act by Monday or the fund expires, returning funds to the general budget.
Governor DeSantis claims federal reimbursement of over $600 million, but it has not yet been confirmed.
