Florida's 2026 session sees few bills reach DeSantis as key measures stall due to lack of support.

As Florida’s 2026 legislative session nears its end, only 15 bills have reached Gov. Ron DeSantis, a sharp drop from last year, due to stalled negotiations between the House and Senate. Key measures including a parental lawsuit bill over unborn child deaths, a plastic straw ban preemption, universal E-Verify, a state bird change, and lowering the rifle purchase age to 18 remain unresolved. Most face opposition or lack legislative support, making passage unlikely before the session ends.
