GOP-led Florida House tanks AI, medical freedom proposals pushed by DeSantis - Politico

The GOP-led Florida House declined to consider Gov. Ron DeSantis' AI Bill of Rights and medical freedom bills during a special legislative session on April 28, 2026. The House's inaction effectively halts the AI regulatory proposal for now, along with the medical freedom measures.

The special session had been called by DeSantis to address these issues, but House leadership chose not to take up the bills. The Senate's passage of the AI Bill of Rights indicates a split between the two chambers over regulatory priorities. The medical freedom bills, which were not passed by either chamber, also failed to advance.

The bills may be reconsidered in future regular sessions.
