Ron DeSantis signed a roughly $115 billion budget into law, after vetoing nearly $600 million in spending. The spending plan is about $3 billion less than the current year, and comes after a protracted negotiation between the House and Senate over tax cuts that delayed its approval.

Tallahassee — Gov. Ron DeSantis approved an austere $115 billion spending plan on the last day of the fiscal year Monday, one that is less than the current budget yet still delivers almost $1 billion in tax savings for Florida businesses.

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the $115 billion budget just hours before it takes effect at midnight. “Signing this budget underscores the fact that Florida is the best fiscally managed state in these United States,” DeSantis said.
