Sine Die has come and gone. The 2022 Legislative Session is finally over, with a couple of days’ extension. Gov. Ron DeSantis says it was “the year of the parent” in the Legislature, with the passage of “Stop Woke” and the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bills. Also, on today’s Sunrise: — Redistricting maps have been drawn and approved, but they still aren’t on the Governor’s desk and he’s still hinting at a veto. — As the Session ends, there’s already talk about a Special Session to focus on the unaddressed problem of homeowners insurance. — The Democrats had a pretty soul-baring Session. They say it upped their visibility.

Also, on today’s Sunrise: — Senators also passed legislation that gives anyone the right to challenge books and teaching materials. Democrats say it will lead to book banning. — Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill has stirred the wrath of the king of reality TV, Andy Cohen. — And, as regular as the bi-yearly time change, Marco Rubio is once-again calling for an end to time changing.
