The North Lake County Hospital District is an independent special district that was created by the Florida Legislature. This bill codifies and revises the hospital district charter to: revise the public purpose of the district, limiting it to indigent care; clarify that the district may levy an ad valorem tax up to one mill; limit persons from seeking election to the district board who have served as an officer or member of a board of a hospital physically located in the district, or a parent corporation or foundation of such a hospital, within the previous two years; require notice of district meetings to be published online on a publicly accessible website maintained by the district; discontinue mandatory payments of district tax proceeds to Florida Hospital Waterman, Leesburg Regional Medical Center, and LifeStream Behavioral Center; require financial integrity and compliance audits of providers; sunset the district in 2017, unless the electors approve its continuation; and provide language for a referendum.

  • HOW THEY VOTED Where Legislators Stood on the Florida Chamber’S 2019 Jobs and Competitiveness Agenda
    HOW THEY VOTED Where Legislators Stood on the Florida Chamber’s 2019 Jobs and Competitiveness Agenda SECURING FLORIDA’S FUTURE FloridaChamber.com 2019 Legislative Summary Florida Chamber Members and Friends: Six months after the launch of Florida’s 2030 Blueprint, commonly known as Florida’s Next Strategic Plan, Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Legislature advanced many of the ideas outlined in the plan. Year after year, the Florida Chamber has been at the forefront of fighting for issues that impact Florida’s competitiveness. Lawmakers passed 20 Florida Chamber- backed bills that will help lower the cost of living for families, reduce the cost of doing business for job creators and prepare for Florida’s future growth. Bob Grammig 2018-2019 Chair The Florida Chamber’s 2019 legislative agenda was supported by more than 75,000 Florida Chamber of Commerce letters of support and 14,000 petitions to lawmakers, hundreds of local chamber members traveling to Tallahassee to meet with their lawmakers, and the Florida Chamber testified before House and Senate committees more than 115 times – all backed by a lobbying, grassroots and public affairs team of 30 strong. Throughout the 60-day process, the Florida Chamber took on attacks from those that want to make Florida less competitive, including government unions, billboard trial lawyers and extremist groups fighting against smart growth. Recognizing that economic, political and demographic shifts have placed Florida in a fragile and changing position, it’s vital that Florida’s business community unite to elect pro-jobs candidates to ensure the right outcomes happen for Florida.

  • Republicans Maintain a Majority in 188 Races for Newly Redrawn Florida Legislative and Congressional Districts
    Republicans Maintain a Majority in 188 Races for Newly Redrawn Florida Legislative and Congressional Districts by Rheb Harbison Carlton Fields Senior Government Consultant 11.07.2012; 4:00 a.m. Republicans held their grip over both chambers of the Florida Legislature in the first election following the spring 2012 redraw of state’s legislative and congressional district lines. The redistricting exercise occurs every 10 years following the most recent US Census, and when complete requires all 160 members of the Florida Legislature to run for office. The decennial US Census also gave Florida two additional seats in the US House of Representatives, bringing the state’s delegation to 29 members: 27 in the US House of Representatives and two in the US Senate. All of the US House seats were up for election this year. Democrats held onto one of the two US Senate seats with incumbent US Senator Bill Nelson winning decisively over US Representative Connie Mack in Tuesday’s election. Miami Republican Marco Rubio, who was not up for election this year, holds the other US Senate seat. As well, voters decided the fate of 11 proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution at Tuesday’s General Election. All of the proposed amendments were placed on the ballot by the Florida Legislature. ► 2013-2014 Florida Senate Republicans have now controlled Florida’s Senate for over a decade. The Party won 26 seats and fell just one member short of achieving a Republican “Super Majority” with the defeat of incumbent Republican Ellyn Bogdanoff. Super Majority rule essentially means one party completely controls the chamber’s political agenda by controlling the procedural rules of the chamber.
