DeSantis held a news conference for tackling property tax for homeowners, calling on Florida Legislature to direct billions for relief. See his plan.

The House package would also cut the sales-tax rate on electricity from 4.35 percent to 3.6 percent; the rate on sales of new mobile homes from 3 percent to 2.25 percent; and the rate on coin-operated amusement machines, such as pinball machines, from 4 percent to 3.25 percent.

DeSantis on Monday said state and local governments can maintain their "core functions" by offloading the tax burden on non-Floridians.
