Senate lawmakers also approved a bill to cap Florida Veterans’ Hall of Fame nominations, the Department of Citrus launched a pilot for free orange juice at Capitol welcome centers, and Attorney General James Uthmeier sharply criticized Fort Myers officials over their vote on sanctuary policies — prompting calls for tighter government oversight.
