Description

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CBS12) — Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference from his office on Monday morning to announce a special session for legislative reforms with an emphasis on illegal immigration.

DeSantis stated that the special session will begin on Jan. 27 and target four subjects: illegal immigration, lingering hurricane relief, condominium relief, and reforming the petition and amendment process in Florida.

He announced that state and local law enforcement will be helping implement President-elect Donald Trump's illegal immigration laws once he takes office, noting that Florida is not a "sanctuary state."

The next subject DeSantis touched upon was lingering hurricane relief stating that Floridians affected by Hurricane Milton and Helene should be able to access their relief money now instead of waiting until July.

He transitioned into condominium relief, stating that Florida lost close to 100 people from the Surfside collapse and people want change. He wants to make sure that people can stay in their condo units.

The final addition to the call will be reforming the petition and amendment process. DeSantis said there were a lot of fraudulent petitions across the board and he wants to make sure the petitions and elections maintain integrity.

"Our constitution should not be on sale to the highest bidder," he said.
