Senator Lee, notably, is one of two Senators appointed to the Constitutional Revision Commission by House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’Lakes – who has also called for term limits for Florida Supreme Court Justices.
Regarding Flores’ amendment to the bill, Senate Democrat Leader Oscar Braynon II, D-Miami Gardens, questioned the necessity of the bill, stating: “This amendment [regarding] monitoring the Supreme Court gives me a moment of pause, it’s an overall good bill, I’m not sure if adding [this amendment] to the bill is truly necessary, so I would hope that the sponsor would express to how this is necessary to be in this bill.”
In response, Sen. Flores did not sugar coat her reasons, stating: “I think it’s important to have several bills that are important to different Senators. We’re at the point in session where different bills may not be fully moving along the process and so this is an opportunity for several Senators’ issues to be brought together for a bill…so it’s a good way to have even more support for this very good bill.”
