Well, the mini-TCPA will live on for at least another year.

After an intense clash between business-side interests and the powerful Florida plaintiff’s bar–resulting in two monumentally-different amendments being proposed to the FTSA–the Florida legislative session will end today (extended from Friday) with no change to the Mini-TCPA.

Officially the House and Senate bills died when the House ceased review of the bills on Friday. The current status of both bills: “Indefinitely postponed and withdrawn from consideration.”

That means the most dangerous state statute on the books–to some degree even more dangerous than the TCPA given its massively broad “autodialer” definition–lives on, and the flood of FTSA litigation will carry on.

Here are a few recent filings for the curious:
