FSASC Legislative Update 3-09-2018
March 9, 2018 –The 2018 Legislative Session started out like any other with an emphasis on the policy priorities of Governor Scott, House Speaker Richard Corcoran and Senate President Joe Negron. Largely, those priorities focused on education, the environment, health care, taxes and the state budget.
The Session began with scandal and ended with heartbreak. The early part of the session was defined by sexual harassment charges that caused a key member of the Senate to resign. At almost the exact mid-point of the 60 day session 17 children and adults were killed and another 17 injured by a shooter at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The Legislature understandably spent much of the last couple of weeks developing and debating a bill on school safety in an attempt to respond.

The sub-theme follows; that those patients would somehow have been better off having their care in hospitals.
