Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has vetoed nine bills from this session with only a few measures remaining for a decision, along with $590 million in line items from the state budget.
To override any vetoes, including line items, lawmakers would need a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
Among some of the larger line-item vetoes:
• $35.1 million for grants and aids to local governments for energy programs.
• $14 million for a new hangar for the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
• $11 million for the Conner lab facility.
• $7.5 million for water and wastewater improvements in Orange County.
Nearly $6.3 million for the Ocklawaha river restoration that included the building of a new bridge.
• $5 million for an expansion of Brevard County School District’s West Shore junior and senior high schools.
• $4.4 million for public television stations and $1.3 million for public radio stations.
• $4.3 million for environmental dredging of Sykes Creek in Brevard County.
• $3 million for the second phase of the Westchester Free Standing Emergency Department.
