Due to your help, the legislative leaders were bombarded with calls and e-mails to the point where many of their systems were shut down. We’ve learned that two House bills, HB 1319 by Representative Grady and HB 1543 by Representative Juan Zapata, were pulled. Because of the pressure and uncertainty of the vote, Senator Bennett who sponsored SB 1902, also pulled his own bill from the committee he chairs. While all of the aforementioned is great news, we must not let our guard down.
Senator JD Alexander, of Lake Wales, has another bill, SB 2022, which is still very much alive and will be coming up today in committee. His phone number is (850) 487-5044 and his e-mail is alexander.jd.web@flsenate.gov . Feel free to contact him again.
Thanks for your involvement. We have broken their stride! However, you must know that they can still sneak bills in anywhere during the process, and even during the very last days without further hearings. We are watching very closely. Again, thank you for your help. It makes all the difference in the world.
A thank you and kudos also goes out to the other unions who joined in with our efforts to stop this madness. The PBA continues to be at the forefront of this effort and will be vigilant throughout the entire Session.
Please call us with any questions. We will try to answer as expeditiously as possible.
Stay informed. Thank you for what you do on a daily basis.
