Bill > S0648

This bill requires each house of the Florida Legislature to establish rules authorizing the use of remote technology systems for members to remotely participate in committee meetings and floor proceedings during a declared state of emergency or public health emergency. The remote technology systems must allow the public to observe the proceedings, and members participating remotely must be in the presence of only one legislative employee. The bill specifies requirements and limitations for the use of remote participation, including that a majority of the committee or house members must be physically present to constitute a quorum. The bill also allows for joint rules to govern remote participation in joint committee and conference committee meetings.
