2026 Florida Legislature

Boyd, who is the Senate majority leader, will succeed President Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, after the November 2026 elections.

State Democratic legislators have filed matching bills to allow survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, or stalking to terminate their rental agreements without financial penalties.

Like this year's effort, which passed the Legislature, the proposal would repeal a 1990 law that prevents people 25 and older from seeking “non-economic” damages in cases involving deaths of their parents.
