Florida's state House of Representatives on Friday passed a 296-page criminal justice reform bill on Friday, the last full day of the legislative session.

The bill's success in the House follows passage in the state's Senate a day earlier, according to the Tampa Bay Times, and the bill now heads to the desk of Gov.

The bill, dubbed the "Florida First Step Act" after the similarly named national criminal justice bill that President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

The bill also raises the "threshold" theft amount at which felony charges can be imposed to $750 from $300, according to the Times.

The bill's House sponsor told the Tampa Bay Times that the bill's goal is to make the state's criminal justice system fairer.

“Our goal … is to make sure we have the fairest, most just criminal justice system in the country and today we take a large step in that direction,” said State Rep. Paul Renner (R).

The Times reports that some proposed measures, including allowing for judicial discretion in sentencing for some drug crimes that have mandatory minimum sentences, did not make it into the bill's final version, disappointing some reform advocates.

The state has almost 100,000 people currently incarcerated, according to the paper.
