LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY of KEY VOTES Dear City Official 2021 LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY OF KEY VOTES Dear City Official: I am pleased to provide you with the Florida League of Cities Legislative Summary of Key Votes for 2021. This summary includes House and Senate votes on key bills that passed the Legislature this session that were a significant infringement on municipal Home Rule authority. This document also includes an index of all legislators in order by chamber and last name. As you continue your grassroots advocacy efforts during the interim, we encourage you to use this tool to have meaningful discussions with your legislators, hold them accountable for their votes and help educate them on the effect of the legislation in this report. Further, I encourage you to stay engaged by spending time with your legislators while they are home in the district. Please continue to use the League as a resource should you have any questions or need additional information. Thank you for all that you do for your municipality, and thank you for your continued support of the Florida League of Cities. Respectfully, Jeannie Garner Executive Director Table of Contents Home-Based Businesses .................................................................... 1 Impact Fees ......................................................................................... 2 Real Property Rights/Bert Harris Act ........................................... 3 Index ..................................................................................................... 5 FLC Legislative Affairs Team .......................................................... 7 NOTE: Votes were taken from official legislative journals. HOME-BASED BUSINESSES (OPPOSED) – PASSED CS/HB 403 creates a sweeping preemption on the local regulation of home-based businesses.

  • 2018-Mid-Year-Political-Contributions
    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 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 the first half of 2018. 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 – June 2018 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? regulations govern many aspects of the contributions process including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.

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.
