DeSantis AI and Vaccination Bills Stall in Florida House Special Session

During a special session on AI regulation and vaccine exemptions, the Florida House, led by Speaker Daniel Perez, killed Gov. Ron DeSantis’ top priorities—dead on arrival for the AI bill and for expanding religious vaccine exemptions—while the Senate prepared to act and later advanced the AI measure 37-1. DeSantis blasted the move as “typical political shenanigans,” illustrating a rift within the GOP and signaling waning influence since his presidential bid.
