Senate President Ken Pruitt said Wednesday that he has little interest in doing anything more on property taxes or going backwards on current property insurance legislation.
That doesn't mean the Senate won't pass a just a bill to make property tax bills more clear.
On property taxes, "If (senators) file a bill, I'm not going to stop anyone from filing a bill....If we share with them that there will be no leadership assistance with it, hopefully they'll know that there's no appetite over here."
On insurance: "Major public policy takes time, and I believe on insurance, it's even more so...I don't see us doing anything major."
Pruitt's press spokeswoman called to clarify that on insurance Pruitt didn't mean the Senate won't do anything on property insurance, it's just that he has no interest in passing anything that would run counter to the reforms passed last year.
