Florida lawmakers finalized a state budget of nearly $115 billion for the fiscal year beginning July 1 after House and Senate leaders reached agreement late on May 24. The spending level falls between the Senate's higher proposal and the House's $113.6 billion plan.
Approval by both chambers is expected before the end of the week. The agreement ends months of disagreement that began after the regular session concluded on March 13 without a budget deal. Legislators reconvened for a second consecutive year to resolve differences over total spending, fiscal restraint, and program priorities.
