Public Guide by The Office of Public Information

It has been said, that no legislative chamber in the country provides more raw information than the Florida House, and yet too often the legislative process remains muddy, and substantive information remains difficult to understand. It is the goal of the Office of Public Information to bridge that information divide for members of the public and we hope that this page will serve as a useful portal to various information about the legislative process.
