Along with the Senate, it composes the Florida Legislature. Article III, Section 1 of the Florida Constitution, adopted in 1968, defines the role of the Legislature and how it is to be constituted. The House is composed of 120 members, each elected from a single - member district with a population of approximately 157,000 residents. Legislative districts are drawn on the basis of population figures, provided by the federal decennial census. Senators ' terms begin immediately, upon their election. As of 2017, Republicans hold the majority in the State House with seventy - six seats ; Democrats hold the minority with forty seats. Four seats are currently vacant, due to the resignations. The House Chamber is located in the State Capitol building.

Because this shadows the terminology used to describe member of U.S. Senate, constituents and the news media, using The Associated Press Stylebook, often refer to State Senators as State Senators to avoid confusion with their Federal counterparts. Terms Article III, of the Florida Constitution, defines the terms for State Legislators. The Constitution requires State Representatives to be elected on a partisan basis for two - year terms. Legislators take office immediately, upon election. Term limits On November 3, 1992, almost 77 percent of Florida voters backed Amendment 9, the Florida Term Limits Amendment, which amended the State Constitution, to enact eight year term limits on federal and state officials. Under the Amendment, former members can be elected again after a two - year break. In 1995, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states could not enact congressional term limits, but ruled that the state level term limits remain. Qualifications Each legislator shall be at least twenty - one years of age, an elector and resident of the District from which elected and shall have resided in the state for a period of two years prior to election. Legislative Session Each year during which the Legislature meets constitutes a new Legislative Session. Committee weeks Legislators start Committee activity in September of the year prior to the Regular Legislative Session. Because Florida is a part - time legislature, this is necessary to allow legislators time to work their bills through the Committee process, prior to the Regular Legislative Session. Regular Legislative Session The Florida Legislature meets in a 60 - day Regular Legislative Session each year. Regular Legislative Sessions in odd - numbered years must begin on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March. Under the State Constitution, the Legislature can begin even - numbered year Regular Legislative Sessions at a time of it 's choosing. Prior to 1991, the Regular Legislative Session began in April. Senate Joint Resolution 380 ( 1989 ) proposed to the voters a Constitutional Amendment ( approved November 1990 ) that shifted the starting date of Regular Legislative Session from April to February. Subsequently, Senate Joint Resolution 2606 ( 1994 ) proposed to the voters a Constitutional Amendment ( approved November 1994 ) shifting the start date to March, where it remains. The reason for the `` first Tuesday after the first Monday '' requirement stems back to the time when Regular Legislative Session began in April. Regular Legislative Session could start any day from April 2 through April 8, but never on April 1 -- April Fool 's Day. In recent years, the Legislature has opted to start in January in order to allow lawmakers to be home with their families during school spring breaks, and to give more time ahead of the legislative elections in the Fall. Organizational Session On the fourteenth day following each General Election, the Legislature meets for an Organizational Session to organize and select officers. Special Session Special Legislative Sessions may be called by the Governor, by a joint proclamation of the Senate President and House Speaker, or by a three - fifths vote of all Legislators. During any Special Session the Legislature may only address legislative business that is within the purview of the purpose or purposes stated in the Special Session Proclamation. Powers and process The Florida House is authorized by the Florida Constitution to create and amend the laws of the U.S. state of Florida, subject to the Governor 's power to veto legislation. To do so, Legislators propose legislation in the forms of bills drafted by a nonpartisan, professional staff. Successful legislation must undergo Committee review, three readings on the floor of each house, with appropriate voting majorities, as required, and either be signed into law by the Governor or enacted through a veto override approved by two - thirds of the membership of each legislative house. Its statutes, called `` chapter laws '' or generically as `` slip laws '' when printed separately, are compiled into the Laws of Florida and are called `` session laws ''. The Florida Statutes are the codified statutory laws of the state. In 2009, legislators filed 2,138 bills for consideration. On average, the Legislature has passed about 300 bills into law annually. In 2013, the Legislature filed about 2000 bills. About 1000 of these are `` member bills. '' The remainder are bills by committees responsible for certain functions, such as budget. In 2016, about 15 % of the bills were passed. In 2017, 1,885 lobbyists registered to represent 3,724 entities. The House also has the power to propose Amendments to the Florida Constitution. Additionally, the House has the exclusive power to impeach officials, who are then tried by the Senate. Leadership The House is headed by the Speaker of the House. The Speaker of the House is elected by the members of the Chamber to a two - year term. The Speaker has the power to preside over the Chamber during Session, to appoint committee members and chairs of committees, to influence the placement of bills on the calendar, and to rule on procedural motions. The Speaker Pro Tempore presides if the Speaker leaves the Chair or if there is a vacancy. The Speaker, along with the Senate President and Governor of Florida, control most of the agenda of state business in Florida.
