Senator Hooper announced that the Senate accepted the House’s revision to its offer covering transportation, tourism, economic development, infrastructure and related projects at the conference committee of the Florida Legislature on appropriations.

The acceptance resolves competing positions on the budgets and project lists for those program areas, clearing the way for the conference committee to move forward on other pending offers and back-of-bill language. Committee members heard no public testimony on the transportation-and-tourism offers.

Representative McClure then confirmed that the House accepted the Senate’s administered-funds budget offer on related lines, including project-level adjustments listed on the committee spreadsheet. The meeting proceeded to other offers for education and health before adjourning without objection.

The conference committee did not take separate roll-call votes in the public record for these acceptances during the session; staff described changes as reflected on the shared spreadsheets rather than reading detailed amendment language into the record.
