Florida Legislature

The Florida Legislature is the two houses that act as the state legislature of the U.S. state of Florida. The Florida Constitution states that "The legislative power of the state shall be vested in a legislature of the State of Florida," composed of a Senate and House of Representatives.〔(The Florida Constitution )〕 The legislature is seated at the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee. Both chambers have been under Republican control since 1996.
Composed of 160 state legislators term-limited to eight consecutive years. There is no limit on total number of terms. The state legislature meets beginning in March for a period not to exceed 60 calendar days. Special sessions are called as needed.
Its statutes, called "chapter laws" or generically as "slip laws" when printed separately, are compiled into the ''Laws of Florida'' and are called "session laws".〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Florida Legislature )〕 The ''Florida Statutes'' are the codified statutory laws of the state.〔
==Powers and process==

The Florida Legislature is authorized by the Florida Constitution to create and amend the laws of the U.S. state of Florida, subject to the governor's power to veto legislation. To do so, legislators propose legislation in the forms of bills drafted by a nonpartisan, professional staff.〔(Senate Handbook, 2012-2014 ), Florida Senate (accessed April 28, 2013)〕 Successful legislation must undergo committee review, three readings on the floor of each house, with appropriate voting majorities, as required, and either be signed into law by the governor or enacted through a veto override approved by two-thirds of the membership of each legislative house.〔
The Legislature also has the power to propose amendments to the Florida Constitution. The rules for the Florida Legislature are laid out within the Constitution of Florida, and is also prescribed the respective chambers when applicable. Florida has had a total of six different state constitutions, signed in 1838, 1861 (secession), 1865, 1868, 1885, and 1968 (the current Florida Constitution).
In 2009, legislators filed 2,138 bills for consideration. On average, the Legislature has passed about 300 bills into law annually.
Earmarks that have not gone through the normal legislative process are known colloquially as "turkeys." In 2010, Florida TaxWatch, a government watchdog organization counted 41 "turkeys" totaling $61 million.
