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.

2015 21 2015Champions Forbusiness
2 015 Champions forBusiness otes provide tangible evidence of whether or not a legislator upholds the ability of Florida companies to operate free of overly burdensome state regulation and taxation. VIt is a valuable tool used by AIF and the business community to determine which legislators running for re-election deserve our support. Yet, voting records only tell part of the story. A Champion for Business is a legislator who takes risks for his or her belief in the free-enterprise system, who defies the status quo when it is harmful to our state’s competitive climate, and who faces down oppo- nents to the growing prosperity of Florida’s citizens. The Champion for Business is evidence that, in our efforts to let our members and their legislators know who has been good for business and who has been bad, we leave no stone unturned. This year, AIF selected those legislators who we deem are strong and forceful advocates for the business community. In our collective wisdom, the Governor and these nine legislators are the epitome of what a Champion for Business should be. Wheth- er they proposed an important bill, authored a key amendment, or toiled behind the scenes, these legisla- tors are the ones who made a difference this session. The Champion for Business award symbolizes our gratitude for extraordinary efforts by legislators on behalf of the business community. AIF Voting Records • 2015 21 2015Champions forBusiness Governor Rick Scott Senate President House Speaker Steve is receiving his Andy Gardiner Crisafulli (R-Merritt third AIF Champi- (R-Orlando) is Island) is receiving on for Business receiving his first his fifth AIF Award and is only AIF Champion for Champion for the second Gover- Business Award.

2017-Year-End-Political-Report.Pdf
1 Verizon Political Activity January – December 2017 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during 2017. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – December 2017 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.
