Legislative Update
As we begin the 2024 session, we have already seen several bills get traction and others get absorbed by other bills, not to mention some that won’t see the light of day. That being said, there have been over 1,700 bills filed along with many appropriation requests, such as our requests for Boys/Girls State and the upcoming 2025 National Convention in Tampa.
When the occasion arises, we will ask for your assistance. Please keep an eye out for communications that come from us in regard to reaching out to your legislative members and request to have your post membership make contact with them. This is our ability to be the grassroots to our endeavors.
Attached to this email are the bills that we are tracking here in Tallahassee. Some we are in support of (Yes) and some we are simply watching to see how the language in the bills move and or change. If the language doesn’t move in the right direction, we will then indicate that we are not in support of the bill (No).
If you would like more information about the bills that we are tracking, please review the bill language through either the Florida House of Representatives or the Florida Senate websites.

In closing, please read up on legislation that you have a passion for. A well-educated citizen should be the goal of everyone!
For God & Country,
Stuart Scott
Legislative Chair
