  • 2021 Legislative Wrap-Up
    2021 Legislative Wrap-Up Prepared by The Southern Group and City of Lakeland June 18, 2021 I. Coronavirus Pandemic Position: Support increased funding to State and Local Governments to help offset costs associated with the Coronavirus Pandemic. Ensure distribution of funds to cities within counties that receive direct appropriation from the Treasury. Support flexibility for the continued use of virtual meeting platforms by local governments when conditions merit such action. Support the ability of local governments to enact, and enforce, measures to reduce the spread of Coronavirus, and future epidemics, such as the wearing of masks. Support HB 7 and SB 72 relating to liability protections for businesses, local governments, schools, nonprofit organizations and religious institutions. Final Action: SB 72, by Senator Jeff Brandes, provides liability protections to all persons, businesses, governments, religious institutions, schools and health care facilities that remained open during the COVID pandemic and made good faith efforts to follow guidelines to prevent the spread of coronavirus. The bill requires that a plaintiff must show that the defendant acted with gross negligence, the plaintiff must have a signed affidavit from a doctor stating that the injury or death was a result of the defendant’s actions, and cases must be brought within one year of a COVID-19-related problem. The bill is retroactive in nature. SB 72 passed the Senate 24-15 and the House 83-31 and was signed by the Governor on March 29th. The bill went into effect immediately. SB 2006, by Senator Danny Burgess, is a comprehensive bill that amends the State Emergency Management Act to address threats from future pandemics or public health emergencies and imposes restrictions on the scope, duration and impact of emergency orders.

The state budget crisis is such that legislators will not be able to avoid making serious and broad reforms in order to keep spending under control. The Medicaid Program is growing at leaps and bounds and executive and legislative leaders have stated that the program must be brought under control. Any major changes to the way Medicaid is financed will have serious implications for Medicaid recipients and providers, and for the state’s health care system as a whole. We must take every opportunity to ensure that we elect people who understand and support long term care providers. That is why the Florida Health Care Association is providing you with this election year guide. It contains information that the Association has collected on state Senate and House races. We do not intend it to be fully comprehensive; there are many candidates that we have not met. However, we share with you what we do know now so that you, your staff, residents and family members may become better educated as voters and more active in your elected official’s races. This guide contains the following items: * An outline of the 2004-2005 Grassroots Program - It describes our plan for the election and for the upcoming legislative session.
