There is no budget yet but efforts to support college access and student success advanced this session.
The 2025 Legislative Session did not conclude within the regular 60-day timeframe and has been extended. Both chambers have agreed to extend the session to finalize negotiations on the General Appropriations Act (the state budget) and select bills outlined in the joint proclamation including funding for accelerated programs. All other bills that did not pass both chambers will not be considered this year.
This session recap provides an overview of higher education legislation, outlined in further detail below, that could impact Florida’s students and postsecondary education system. As of the date of this recap’s release, budget negotiations continue. Legislation passed through both chambers is in one of two stages: awaiting the Governor’s signature or veto, or signed into law.
