2021 Legislative Report Office of Florida State Representative Daisy Morales 2021 LEGISLATIVE REPORT OFFICE OF FLORIDA STATE REPRESENTATIVE DAISY MORALES COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS Education & Employment Committee Agriculture & Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee Finance & Facilities Subcommittee Post-Secondary The Florida House Chamber is where House members debate and pass laws. Education & Lifelong House members celebrate the passing of Rep. Morales’ first House bill, HB 855 Learning Subcommittee REPORT: $101.5 BILLION STATE BUDGET *, 58 BILLS SIGNED INTO LAW I represent Florida House District 48 in Orlando, and this report highlights my legislative accomplishments for the 2021 Legislative Session and the Special Session on Gaming and Seminole Compact. The Florida Legislature voted to approve a $101.5 billion state budget ($36.3 billion General Revenue; $65.2 billion Trust Funds). I also casted my vote on the House floor to approve it. As a new State Representative, I was told that passing legislation as a freshman lawmaker and a Democrat in a Republican-controlled House and Senate is just not going to happen. Well, I sponsored or co-sponsored 129 bills, including 2 House Resolutions. 58 bills became law with bipartisan support from my colleagues. Reaching across the aisle puts the needs of Floridians first. Governor DeSantis signed a record $101.5 billion budget approved by the Florida Legislature, vetoed $1.5 billion LEGISLATIVE REPORT BY THE NUMBERS Representative 129 BILLS, 58 SIGNED INTO LAW Daisy Morales 7 8 113 BILLS APPROPRIATION BILLS BILLS FIRST NAMED SPONSOR FIRST NAMED SPONSOR CO-SPONSORED HB855 signed into law, HB2051, HB2561, HB2773, HB2775, HB857 amended to HB1307, SB1120 HB2855, HB3197, HB3199, HB3525 HB1347 passed House, Died Senate 1 1 1 HOUSE RESOLUTION HR8053 APPROPRIATION BILL HB3861 HOUSE RESOLUTION HR8037 FIRST NAMED SPONSOR CO-SPONSORED CO-SPONSORED World Vitiligo Day Central Florida Health Center Osteoporosis Awareness Month COVID-19 Infusion Center 26 6 25 ORDERED ENROLLED ORDERED ENGROSSED LAID ON TABLE, REFER TO SENATE Passed House and Senate Passed House and Senate 1st Engrossed Signed into Law by Governor Signed into Law by Governor 34 17 4 DIED IN HOUSE COMMITTEE DIED IN SENATE COMMITTEE Died House Second Reading 2 Passed House, Refer to Senate Died in Returning Message 2 STATE REPRESENTATIVE DAISY MORALES 2021 LEGISLATIVE REPORT 2021 STATE FUNDING $39 MILLION IN STATE FUNDING IMPACTING DISTRICT 48 Aviation Development (Airport) Orange - Orlando Int'l FAA Airfield Improvements………………………………………………………………...$2,000,000 Orange - Orlando Int'l Roadway Signage……………………………….…………….…………………………………$4,000,000 Orange - Orlando Int'l Terminal Complex…………………………….……………………………………………….$15,274,352 Orlando International Airport Security Enhancements……….…………………………………………….……$1,000,000 Highway Safety, Construction and Engineering SR 436 from South of SR 552 to North of SR 552 (Curry Ford Road)……………………………………....$1,235,554 Sand Lake Rd / Turnpike Interchange (SR 482/SR 91) (Milepost 257)…………………………….…….$10,815,000 New Beachline Expressway (SR 528) Interchange at Voltaire Drive……………………………..…………$4,500,000 House Bill 2855 House Bill 3199 House Bill 3861 $840,000 IN APPROPRIATION PROJECTS FOR DISTRICT 48 Sponsored: Gateway Orlando Economic Prosperity Initiative......................................………………………….……..$250,000 (HB 2855 Approved by the Florida Legislature, vetoed by Governor) Grow It Forward Urban-Farm Network Strategic Planning…………………..…………………..……………….$100,000 (HB 3199 Approved by the Florida Legislature, vetoed by Governor) Co-Sponsored: Central Florida Family Health Center COVID-19 Infusion Center…………….............................………$240,000 (HB 3861 Approved by the Florida Legislature, vetoed by Governor) D.U.S.T - Developing Urban Sophisticated Technocrats………....……………….………………….………..….$250,000 (HB 3103 Approved by the Florida Legislature, vetoed by Governor) STATE REPRESENTATIVE DAISY MORALES 2021 LEGISLATIVE REPORT SPECIAL SESSION ON GAMING COMPACT After the 2021 Legislative Session ended April 30, Florida House Speaker Chris Sprowls announced committee assignments for about 65 members for the Special Session on Gaming and the Seminole Compact. The Florida Legislature reconvened May 2021 to consider the new gaming compact the governor reached with the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Florida would potentially receive $20 billion over the next 30 years. I was appointed to serve on the Select Subcommittee on the Seminole Gaming Compact. Orange County State Legislation Delegation Representatives Kamia Brown (D-45), Anna Eskamani (D-47), and Keith Truenow (R-31) also received committee assignments. I filed House Amendment 737115 on the Floor regarding my concerns of the negative impact gambling would have on families. The amendment states in part: “The amount paid to the state by the Seminole Tribe of Florida and deposited into the General Revenue Fund shall be used to increase funding to support victims of domestic violence through prevention and public health awareness.” The amendment was ruled out of order for consideration on how the new revenue generated should be spent. My Floor Vote: Yes, Implementation of the 2021 Gaming Compact (97 Yeas-17 Nays) Yes, Gaming Enforcement (108 Yeas-7 Nays) Yes, Public Records and Meeting for Florida Gaming Control Commission (114 Yeas-2 Nays) No, Gaming (73 Yeas- 43 Nays) STATE REPRESENTATIVE DAISY MORALES 2021 LEGISLATIVE REPORT LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS As of July 1, 2021, I had nearly 60 bipartisan bills that I sponsored or co-sponsored signed into law, championing 57 bills with other members of the Florida House. 32 bills signed into law were Florida House bills, 25 were Senate companion bills. Fellow lawmakers, constituents, organizations, even government agencies typically urge lawmakers to co-sponsor bills that are important to or directly impact them. Out of a whopping 3,096 total bills out of the Florida House and Senate this Legislative Session, Governor Ron DeSantis signed just 267 of them into law. Members congratulate Rep. Daisy Morales after the passage of H B 85 5 on the House floor, later signed into law. House Bill 855 Barber Services: Authorizes barber to shampoo, cut, or arrange hair in location other than registered barbershop without specified arrangements. House Bill 857 Commercial Telephone Solicitation: Prohibits commercial telephone seller or salesperson from using automated dialing or recorded messages to make certain commercial telephone solicitation phone calls; revises timeframe during which commercial telephone seller or salesperson may make commercial solicitation phone calls; prohibits commercial telephone sellers or salespersons from making specified number of commercial telephone solicitation phone calls to person over specified timeframe. Wording from my Commercial Telephone Solicitation bill (HB 857) was amended into Rep. Mike Beltran’s (R-Lithia) Telephone Solici tation bill (HB 1307). Sen. Audrey Gibson’s (D -Jacksonville) companion bill (SB 1120), which also used wording from my bill, was signed into law. HB 1347 passed on the House Floor House Bill 1347 Educational Opportunities for Disabled Veterans: Provides that disabled veterans receiving certain federal educational assistance benefits are eligible to receive award for remaining cost of tuition and fees at state universities and Florida College System institutions.

  • The Morning Read of What's Hot in Florida Politics –
    Sunburn – The Morning Read Of What’s Hot In Florida Politics – 5.11.21 By Peter Schorsch Good Tuesday morning. Lobbying firm Capital City Consulting will announce today that Jared Rosenstein has joined its team of government affairs consultants. Rosenstein comes to the firm from the Florida Division of Emergency Management, where he served as legislative affairs director. “Jared fits our firm culture of hard work, a deep knowledge of issues, and attention to detail very well. He will undoubtedly provide top-notch government affairs services at the state level and before local governments in South Florida,” founding partner Ron LaFace, Jr. added. Congratulations to Jared Rosenstein, the newest government affairs expert at Capital City Consulting. Before FDEM, Rosenstein served as a legislative assistant to then-Rep. Jared Moskowitz during his time in the House. He also served as a district aide to former Rep. Bill Hager and interned under former Rep. Holly Raschein and former Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff. Capital City Consulting founding partner Nick Iarossi said Rosenstein’s experience working with Democratic and Republican lawmakers would be an asset to the firm. “Jared’s experience as a legislative aide in the Florida House of Representatives and most recently as legislative director at the Florida Division of Emergency Management dealing with hurricane recovery and the COVID-19 pandemic will be a tremendous benefit to CCC’s clients,” Iarossi said. “His ability to work with all policymakers from every party and region is like no one I have ever encountered, and I’m very happy he is joining our growing team.” “I am so honored to join Capital City Consulting — their team of professionals is unrivaled,” he said.
