Billion-dollar
On Day 11 of the 60-day Legislative Session, the House Ways and Means Committee signed off on a billion-dollar tax increase… or is it?
Also, on today’s Sunrise:
— Whatever you call it, that bill is moving fast — thanks to a new deal between the House Speaker and Senate President on how to spend the windfall.
— The Senate Rules Committee passes the COVID-19 liability protection bill.
— The Senate had been working on two separate bills … one for business, the other for health care workers and facilities… but they've combined the two in a single package that is now ready for the Senate floor.
— A House subcommittee passes a bill saying doctors cannot perform an abortion if the fetus has a genetic disability.
— The Governor stops in Lake City and Jacksonville to plug the COVID-19 vaccine … and Walgreens.
— And finally, two Florida Men: one faces charges for The Capitol riot; a Tesla saved the other from a carjacker.
