House and Senate differences remain on proposals to extend Medicaid benefits for postpartum women and earmarks for hospitals and nursing homes.
The fate of more than $42 billion in spending on health and human-services programs remained in limbo after House and Senate budget negotiators were unable to reach agreement by Monday night.
Senate Health and Human Services Appropriations Chairman Aaron Bean, R-Fernandina Beach, told The News Service of Florida late Monday that the health and human services budget had been bumped to top House and Senate leaders to be resolved.
One of the substantial differences is whether Florida will extend Medicaid benefits for postpartum women for up to a year, a priority of House Speaker Chris Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor.
Transgender athlete bill stalls in Fla. Senate
By NSF Staff
Craig Patrick reports
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A proposal that would make it more difficult for transgender female athletes to compete on girls’ and women’s high-school and college teams stalled Tuesday in a state Senate panel.
With the 2021 legislative session scheduled to end April 30, Senate Appropriations Chairwoman Kelli Stargel, who is sponsoring the Senate’s version of the transgender athlete bill, said she needs to devote her time to negotiations with House leaders on the state budget.
Stargel’s proposal (SB 2012) would not go as far as a bill passed by the Republican-dominated Florida House last week. The House bill would require high-school and college sports teams to be designated based on students’ biological sex, a disputed term that refers to the sex assigned at birth.
