Florida Legislature Clears Path For Court Relief And Convict Reform
Tallahassee May 1 Special The legislature has begun bold work on key reliefs for the Supreme Court and convict system though many questions remain undecided. A court commission to aid the Supreme Court is approved to reduce a four to five year docket backlog. Plans to expand the bench to five or seven justices move forward, with a constitutional amendment likely after the next general election. Convict reform and state prison oversight face hours of further debate, with governors, cabinet, and lawmakers scrutinizing the lease system and future discipline. The session intensifies as officials gather facts to push decisive action next week.
