FSBA takes pride in keeping our members well informed of the activities of the Florida Legislature through our legislative session blog — the FSBA Session Spotlight — and in providing information and background materials in our Resource Room to assist your advocacy efforts. When each Legislative Session adjourns, we also conduct a series of Legislative Review Workshops and Webinars that provide a comprehensive review of the education related appropriations and legislation that are passed during the Session.
