TAX INCREASES TARGETED: The Senate Finance and Tax Appropriations Subcommittee will take up a proposed constitutional amendment (SJR 1742), filed by Chairwoman Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland, that would make it harder to raise taxes. The proposal, if approved by voters in November, would require three-fifths support from the House and the Senate to approve tax increases.

JUVENILE FACILITIES EYED: The House Criminal Justice Subcommittee will consider a proposal (HB 361), filed by Rep. David Richardson, D-Miami Beach, and Rep.

TRAUMA CENTERS DEBATED: The House Health Quality Subcommittee will take up a bill (HB 1165), filed by Rep.

ORLANDO CITY COULD GET VICTORY: The House Transportation & Tourism Appropriations Subcommittee will take up a bill (HB 1263), filed by Rep.
