Legislature sets interim committee weeks
Florida lawmakers return to Tallahassee before Thanksgiving to prepare for the 2025 Legislative Session.
The House and Senate have scheduled organizational sessions November 19. The single-day sessions are mostly ceremonial and called to elect leaders and approve House and Senate rules.
Republican Ben Albritton, a Wauchula rancher, is expected to be the next Senate president. Republican Daniel Perez, a Miami attorney, is next in line to be House speaker. The presiding officers serve two-year terms.
The House will conduct its first interim committee week December 2-6. The Senate will follow, December 9-13. During interim committee weeks, lawmakers typically hold budget and policy workshops, take testimony, and begin moving priority bills.
Both chambers return after the New Year for another round of interim committee weeks January 13-17, and January 21-24. The final interim committee week of January begins on Tuesday, following the Martin Luther King, Jr., Holiday.
The following month, interim committee weeks are scheduled for February 3-7, February 10-14, and February 17-21.
The 60-day regular session convenes Tuesday, March 2, 2025.
