I have a 1997 Ford Taurus. After closing all doors the interior floor light stays on. It is not an issue of the doors not being closed. This began happening last evening after driving the car for 1/2 hour and has not happened before. What could be causing this?

Probably bad headlamp switch. You do know most have a position which turns the interior lights on even with the doors closed, don't you? If you have this turned off, but lights stay on, replace the switch.
That is because the switch is faulty and is not operating when the door is closed.
Hence the interior light stays on(unless you switch it off manually) and the warning system thinks the door is still open because the switch has not been activated and therefore the open door warning appears.
Hence you need to have the door operated switch replaced.
PB BLASTER LUBE is the best to use on these latch assembleys you can buy it at your local parts store. spray all door latches really good and open and close doors 10 to15 times this usually frees up the stuck switch
buy a can of PB BLASTER lubrecant at your local parts store and spray all your door latches and trunk latch really good with it, then open and close each door 10 to 15 times this should free up the door ajar switchs that are stuck
to repair this problem you must remove floor lights from seats and check the circuit for either a short or a stuck switch use a multi tester this can get to be irritating as the short may be not directly behind switch could be along wiring that runs through car my suggestion if your not electrically proficient is take it to an electromechanic shop or simply unplug the light from socket to avoid draining the battery.
This is usually caused by the switches sticking in the door latches.
Try spraying some WD40 in the latches and open and close the doors a
bunch of times that should take care of it.
