2020 LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY OF KEY VOTES Dear City Official: I am pleased to provide you with the Florida League of Cities Legislative Summary of Key Votes for 2020. This summary includes House and Senate votes on key bills considered this session that were a significant infringement on municipal Home Rule authority or an unfunded mandate. Some bills were heard only in committee, so the entire Legislature did not have the opportunity to vote on every bill. This document also includes an index of all of legislators in order by chamber and last name. As you continue your grassroots advocacy efforts during the interim, we encourage you to use this tool to have meaningful discussions with your legislators and help educate them on the effect of the proposals tracked in this report. Several of these issues are likely to return in 2021. Further, I encourage you to stay engaged by spending time with your legislators while they are home in the district. Please continue to use the Florida League of Cities as a resource should you have any questions or need additional information.

Congratulations to Jared Rosenstein, the newest government affairs expert at Capital City Consulting. Before FDEM, Rosenstein served as a legislative assistant to then-Rep. Jared Moskowitz during his time in the House. He also served as a district aide to former Rep. Bill Hager and interned under former Rep. Holly Raschein and former Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff. Capital City Consulting founding partner Nick Iarossi said Rosenstein’s experience working with Democratic and Republican lawmakers would be an asset to the firm. “Jared’s experience as a legislative aide in the Florida House of Representatives and most recently as legislative director at the Florida Division of Emergency Management dealing with hurricane recovery and the COVID-19 pandemic will be a tremendous benefit to CCC’s clients,” Iarossi said. “His ability to work with all policymakers from every party and region is like no one I have ever encountered, and I’m very happy he is joining our growing team.” “I am so honored to join Capital City Consulting — their team of professionals is unrivaled,” he said.
