TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Friday marks the last scheduled day of the state’s legislative session.

And it arrives with no budget passed.

That means lawmakers will have to meet again but right now there is no word on when that will happen or how it will work.

Florida law requires state lawmakers to pass a balanced budget by July 1.

The House and Senate are about $4.4 billion apart on their proposals.

Both Republicans and Democrats say they're hopeful a measure will be passed soon.

"I’m confident we'll get it done,” said State Rep. Fentrice Driskell (D) Tampa. “But this is not quite how I'd like to see things done."

The Senate is advocating a $117.4 billion spending plan, potentially including sales tax cuts on certain clothing purchases.

 The House proposing a $113 billion plan, and also is seeking potentially cutting the state's sales tax from 6% to 5.25%. 

Gov. Ron DeSantis is suggesting a $115.6 billion budget. His budget includes potential cuts to state spending and a proposed reduction in the state's sales tax.

“We continue to have productive conversations with the House,” said Sen. Ben Albritton (R ) Bartow, the Senate president. “And we're putting together a framework for a budget and I'm optimistic we'll have more news to share very soon.”
