H0049 Employment House: Third Reading RCS#996 03/08/2024 -3 Yea House Bill 49 and Senate Bill 1596 would take us back in time and roll back decades of child labor protections in Florida. This legislation would allow employers to schedule 16- and 17-year-olds for unlimited hours, without breaks, overnight, and for more than six days in a row — whether during school months or not. HB 49 also preempts (or blocks) local governments from passing curfews for teen workers that are stricter than state law.
H0135 Voter Registration Applications House: Third Reading RCS#951 03/07/2024 3 Yea
H0267 Building Regulations House: Third Reading RCS#978 03/07/2024 -3 Yea House Bill 267 (sponsored by Rep. Esposito) and Senate Bill 684 (sponsored by Sen. DiCeglie) would require local governments to create a program to expedite issuing residential building permits. Among other provisions, the deadline for local governments to respond to residential permit applications would be reduced from 10 to 3 days, with these permits automatically approved if the deadline is not met. Deadlines for residential permits within master-planned communities would be set at 1 day
H0433 Employment Regulations House: Third Reading RCS#995 03/08/2024 -3 Yea House Bill 433 preempts any local laws meant to control any employee's exposure to heat or sun along with any regulations about water consumption, cooling measures or even posting materials to inform employees how to protect themselves from heat exposure. This comes as Miami-Dade County considers a first-of-its kind law that would require employers to provide workers laboring in extreme heat with precautions like cool drinking water, regular breaks, and shade cover.
H0693 Congressional Term Limits House: Third Reading RCS#533 01/09/2024 -3 Yea Here in Florida, far-right state lawmakers have agreed to sponsor legislation for two of the shadow campaigns pushing for an Article V convention. The Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) campaign has found a sponsor with HJR 703, and the terms limits campaign has found a sponsor with HJR 693. Whatever one may think about these amendment ideas, an Article V convention will open the door to shredding our Constitution.

H0919 Artificial Intelligence Use in Political Advertising House: Third Reading RCS#722 02/28/2024 3 Yea This bill pertains to the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) in political advertising. It mandates specific requirements regarding the implementation and disclosure of generative AI, which refers to machine-based systems that emulate the structure and aspects of input data to create derived synthetic content such as images, videos, audio, and texts. Any political ad, communication, or content that utilizes this kind of AI to generate content featuring a virtual depiction of a person, and is i

S1114 Public Financing for Campaigns of Candidates for Elective Statewide Office House: Third Reading RCS#906 03/06/2024 -3 Yea This bill proposes the repeal of Section 7 of Article VI in the State Constitution. This section currently requires that public financing be available for campaign spending for candidates running for state-wide elective offices, as long as these candidates agree to certain spending limits. In simpler terms, the bill seeks to remove the constitutional requirement for public funding to be allocated for campaign expenditures for certain candidates. The proposal will be submitted to the state's elec
