The $114.5 billion budget for the next fiscal year (HB 5001E) was delivered to Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday.
DeSantis has 15 days to act on the fiscal package, which took 77 days to complete after the end of the regular session, and other bills he received Tuesday.
But the fiscal year begins July 1, so a partial government shutdown would ensue if he doesn’t sign the measure before that date.
Also arriving on his desk Tuesday were related budget bills, a tax cut measure (HB 7031E), and the last piece of legislation from the regular session, which resurrects the emergency trust fund used to pay for declared emergencies (SB 7040).
