The Florida Legislature closed its 2014 regular session last Friday with a several bills either awaiting approval or already signed into law. Among the new policies passed by the legislature are in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants, medical marijuana for epileptic children, and an election-year package of tax cuts for Gov. Rick Scott.
