| Description | A House committee passed a bill along party lines Thursday that would shield legislators and their staffs from ever being required to testify or produce public records when they get sued.
The Republican-controlled Legislature’s proposal to grant itself what’s called “absolute privilege” in any civil suit or legal proceeding emerged for the first time Wednesday, the sixth week of the nine week lawmaking session, less than one week after the Florida Democratic Party filed a lawsuit challenging its redistricting maps. |
