The Florida Legislature passed a bill to address illegal immigration, shifting significant responsibilities from the governor to the agriculture commissioner.

Ultimately, Republicans shut down multiple amendments trying to take the tuition-related provisions out of the bill. Republican Sens. Jennifer Bradley, of Fleming Island, and Alexis Calatayud, of Miami, did vote with Democrats for an amendment on tuition filed by Jones.

Following more than four hours of deliberations on Tuesday, Florida's Republican-dominated Legislature passed the measure largely along party lines. The Senate voted 21-16 to approve the bill, while the House passed it 82-30.
