2011 LEGISLATIVE SESSION END OF SESSION REPORT This report was compiled by the staff of the Florida House of Representatives upon completion of the 2011 Legislative Session. This information is intended to provide Florida legislators and their constituents with a summary of the bills that passed both legislative chambers. This document is not an in-depth description of the bills noted. For your convenience, several index options are included in the back of this report. These index options allow you to search for passed legislation by bill category, keywords associated with the bill or by bill number order (which also provides cross-reference information to identify bills passed as components of other bills). As you review these indexes it will become evident that a House bill number may be listed under a Senate bill number or vice versa, indicating that each bill contains all or a portion of another bill. The complete text of the bills included in this report and a section-by-section analysis of each bill can be found by accessing the following website: House Bills: www.myfloridahouse.gov The website includes both the current (or latest) version of a bill or analysis and all earlier versions: The enrolled version of a bill is the one that passed both chambers and is presented to the Governor - this is the version of the bill that has, or will, become law unless vetoed; Earlier versions of the bill do not reflect the exact language as passed by both chambers; The latest version of an analysis is the one that reflects the action of the last committee of reference. It should be noted that at the time of publication of this report, May 31, 2011, some Acts have not been presented to the Governor and the time allotted for the Governor to approve or veto an act has not expired. Therefore, some acts identified as “passed” by both Chambers may not have become law. To verify the status of acts passed by the Legislature, visit the Legislature’s website or call the Division of Legislative Information at 1-800-342-1827.
