TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Friday, May 2, marks the last scheduled day of Florida’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 is proposing a $113 billion plan, with potential cuts to 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.”

State Rep. Anna Eskamani said Tourist Development Tax reform, which would provide more flexibility for use in Central Florida, is at least one topic both the House and Senate included in their tax packages. 

"I do think that local control on the TDT is important and it would allow for us to invest in infrastructure that is so desperately needed," she said.

While it's unclear if those proposed changes will be implemented, she said she's optimistic Central Florida could see some positive impacts.
