  • HOW THEY VOTED Where Legislators Stood on the Florida Chamber’S 2017 Business Agenda
    HOW THEY VOTED Where Legislators Stood on the Florida Chamber’s 2017 Business Agenda SECURING FLORIDA’S FUTURE FloridaChamber.com 2017 Legislative Summary Florida Chamber Members and Friends: The Florida Chamber of Commerce made a measurable difference for businesses during the 2017 Legislative Session. While lawmakers missed opportunities to make Florida more competitive, and jeopardized Florida’s economic development capabilities, the Florida Chamber testified over 125 times and advanced many issues in our competitiveness agenda. Unfortunately, as has been widely documented, legislative leaders advanced a new quasi populist agenda which includes more lawsuits, higher workers’ compensation and property insurance rates, fewer visitors, Syd Kitson less economic diversification and more uncertainty. 2016-2017 Chair Florida Chamber of Commerce The Florida Chamber’s 2017 issue of How They Voted includes: £ Results of the Florida Chamber’s annual Business Agenda which provides an overview of how Florida Chamber-backed, job-creating measures fared during the 2017 session, and £ The Florida Chamber’s Annual Legislative Report Card, a comprehensive report based on more than 5,300 individual votes, which provides members with objective information on how legislators voted on our key legislative priorities. While the report card influences future endorsements in state legislative races, it is not the sole determinant. The truth is that things are fragile in Florida, and when Florida’s Legislative Session Mark Wilson President and CEO is defined by what didn’t happen, state leaders – including the two of us – hoped Florida Chamber of Commerce for more than missed opportunities. Some in legislative leadership put trial lawyers ahead of local businesses and now Floridians are paying billions for it.

  • Aaron Bean from Fernandina Beach
    2020 2022 THE FLORIDA SENATE HANDBOOK 1 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT WILTON SIMPSON President of the Senate Welcome to the Florida Senate. During this unprecedented global pandemic, the Senate has partnered with an infectious disease team at Tampa General Hospital and hired an in-house epidemiologist to develop safety protocols designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep Senators and our Senate professional staff as safe as possible. Just like our Senators and staff, you also play an important role in the legislative process. Input from various stakeholders and members of the public is critical, and the Senate is working diligently to ensure Floridians have access to their elected officials as we consider important legislation for our state. Until the COVID-19 vaccine is widely available for those outside of high-risk designation, the Senate is proceeding with care and caution, limiting in-person meetings, and observing social distancing guidelines, mask requirements, and sanitation protocols. For the 2021 Regular Session of the Florida Legislature, the Senate is working in partnership with Florida State University to reserve three remote viewing rooms at the Leon County Civic Center, which provide the opportunity for members of the public to view meetings and virtually address Senate committees in a safe, socially distant manner. We also encourage you to stay involved by viewing all Senate meetings and floor sittings on our website and contacting your local Senator with suggestions, ideas, and feedback. I look forward to the day when we can all be together again walking the halls and chambers where Florida's citizen-legislators have served for generations.
