The first official day of the 2022 legislative session is January 11. But over the coming months legislators will make their way to Tallahassee for a series of interim committee weeks. As always, education will be a hot button issue. FEA, our locals and our members are committed to ensuring Florida’s PreK-12 schools along with our colleges and universities become the strongest in the nation.
We hope this page will serve as your one stop shop for all the information you need to follow along with what is happening during the 2022 legislative session and a place you can learn to advocate for yourself, your students and public education.
The Week Ahead in the Legislature
Final interim committee week: November 29-December 3
Legislators will be back in Tallahassee one final time before the 2022 regular legislative session begins on Jan. 11. Unlike the prior interim committee weeks that have focused primarily on presentations, this week will likely see discussion and debate on legislation.
Agenda Watch: During interim committee weeks, agendas must be posted one week prior to the meeting. We’ll update the calendar below with the meeting agendas as they become available. But, it is already clear that Wednesday promises to be a busy day for education.
