how many bills has desantis signed since elected?

Ron DeSantis has signed well over 500 bills since taking office, and the total has climbed by another 200+ laws in Florida in 2026 so far. A recent tally says he signed nearly 200 laws in 2024 and multiple batches in 2025 and 2026, including 13 bills in one June 2025 signing and 17 bills plus 20 more pending in June 2026.

What that means

The exact total depends on the cutoff date you use, because the count keeps changing every time he signs a new batch. Florida reporting in June 2026 says over 200 laws had already received his signature in 2026 alone, which is why any single number quickly becomes outdated.

Fast answer

If you just want the practical takeaway: DeSantis has signed hundreds of bills since being elected governor, and by mid-2026 the cumulative total is well past 500.
