  • 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.

    2017 Regular Voting Session of the Records Florida Legislature ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES OF FLORIDA The Voice of Florida Business Since 1920 2017 CHAMPIONS for BUSINESSPage 25 AIF Voting Records • 2017 1 Dear Employer: It is my pleasure to provide you with this tabulation of the voting conduct of each member of the Florida Legislature during the 2017 Regular Session. Voting Records reports on the votes made by every legislator on bills that were advocated, promoted or opposed by Associated Industries of Florida (AIF). By reporting on 5,668 votes cast by legislators on 59 bills, this publication embodies the most exhaustive and complete record of the Tom C. Feeney President & Legislature’s approach to the concerns of Florida’s employers. Chief Executive Officer We go to great lengths to ensure that legislators are aware of AIF’s positions on issues of great importance to the business community. Every year before the session begins, we produce AIF’s Session Priorities, which explains why we support or oppose key issues. In addition, during the session we provide each legislator with a Daily Brief on the activities of that day, highlighting bills of interest to business and our positions on those issues. Our greatest asset, however, is our experienced and accomplished legislative team, which has compiled a record of success second to none. For 42 years AIF has published Voting Records yet, these records only tell part of the story. AIF also helps its member companies detect what bills and amendments are filed and by whom, and who is taking part in behind-the-scene efforts and debates on behalf of the busi- ness community.

    Member News February 21, 2020 Dear Members of the Tourism Industry, Yesterday, the Florida Senate unanimously passed an eight-year reauthorization of VISIT FLORIDA (SB 362 sponsored by Senator Ed Hooper). This is great news for our industry and we sincerely thank the Florida Senate for supporting Governor Ron DeSantis’ budget recommendation of an eight-year reauthorization with con- sistent funding for our organization.

If you haven’t already, please reach out to your Florida Senator to thank them for their support. Also reach out to your Florida House Representative mem- ber and respectfully urge them to properly fund and support VISIT FLORIDA. To find out how you can help, visit TourismWorksForFlorida.org.

    CSA Weekly Update November 9, 2018 A research and advocacy association, supporting efficient, responsive county government in Arizona. In the November 9, 2018 CSA Weekly Update: Thank You for Your Service Veterans! PSPRS Briefs County Managers General Election Preliminary Results APA Arizona State Planning Conference Thank You for Your Service Veterans! This weekend we observe the Veterans Day holiday. Veterans Day has its origins in Armistice Day, which was first acknowledged by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The first anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, ending WWI, took place “in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.” For that reason, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday on November 11, 1938. However, in 1968, the signing of the Uniform Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Many states did not agree with this and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates, causing confusion. Therefore, on September 20, 1975 President Gerald Ford signed legislation returning Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. In honor of all the men and woman who served and continue to serve our great country, thank you!
