    From FAHU Lobbyist, Rhett O'doski

    View this email in your browser From FAHU Lobbyist, Rhett O'Doski Week 5 is almost in the books and Legislators will take Friday and Monday off for the Easter holiday. This past week, both chambers voted vastly differing budget plans out of their chambers setting the stage for high level budget battles after the Easter break. The largest differences are how the two chambers account for the almost two billion hole in the budget created by the looming expiration of the federal LIP funds. The State of Florida is currently undergoing a series of negotiations with CMS through the Agency for Health Care Administration and we learned this week that the Senate dispatched Senators Garcia and Richter to Washington on their own fact finding mission. Senator Garcia stated upon his return on Wednesday that he was encouraged by the discussions, however as described below the discussions were abruptly halted by CMS. So far this year we have been successful in thwarting the advancement of legislation that would make step therapy protocols impossible to implement forcing drug costs up. Senate bill 784 by Senator Don Gaetz known as the “Right Medicine, Right Time” act has advanced through the Senate but the House bill, HB 863 by Representative Harrison has yet to receive a hearing and it is unlikely to at this point. Thank you to all FAHU members who reached out to your legislative contacts expressing opposition. Insurance coverage mandates have reached similar fates in the House of Representatives this year. Senator Ring’s SB 142 which is an expansion of a current autism mandate has moved through one of four committees with the House version also without a hearing so far.

    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.
