Answer:
While "Congress" is what we call the national legislature, for each state we say, "the state legislature." Like in Congress, Florida's legislature has two sections: the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate.
The Florida Legislature meets for a 60-day "session" beginning in March of each year. When the legislators are in session, they debate making new laws or changing old ones. An idea for a law is called a "bill." Members of the legislature meet in committees to study the bills in detail. For example, a bill about students learning civics would likely go to the Senate Education Pre-K–12 Committee. That committee and a similar one in the House would study the bill in detail, edit it, and recommend to the rest of the legislature whether to pass it or drop it.
Florida students can work for the state legislature! Depending on a student's age, they may assist the legislators with handing out materials, sending messages, and other errands.
