Florida Legislature 2022: Teacher and police pay raises, redistricting to dominate session

In addition to the continued pay hikes for teachers, DeSantis wants to see salary increases for law enforcement, including for state police officials and local officers. In September, he proposed a $5,000 bonus for all new police and followed that up in November with a plan to use $73 million to increase pay for new officers at state agencies by 20% and for existing officers by 25%.
