Florida 2023 Legislative Session is OVER with Successful Results
The gavel is DOWN, the Florida Legislative session is OVER and the concerning, damaging bills were NOT passed into law.
- No 24-hour notice on vacation rentals (HB 833)
- No Red-Lettering on Driver’s Licenses (HB 1085)
- No green, fluorescent license plates (Book’s Amendment to SB 1252)
Thank You to….
- EVERYONE who contacted their legislatures through emails, phone calls, and letters.
- EVERYONE who communicated the injustices of the proposed bills through social media, press releases, and TV/News interviews.
- EVERYONE who responded to our calls-for-action and SHARED those actions with friends and family
- EVERYONE outside of Florida who raised their voices in defense of fellow citizens and families in Florida
We can all pause and reflect today on how we demonstrated strength in numbers.
But our work is not over. The 60-day Legislative Session is the final stage of a 4-part annual cycle. After a break, we will focus on all stages of the Legislative process, and continue the momentum to advocate for positive changes in the laws.
- Scheduling teams to visit their legislators in the district offices (during Stage 1 – May-July)
- Organizing Lobby days in Tallahassee (in Stage 2 – Aug-Oct)
- Building a Speakers team to represent FAC in the Legislative Delegation Meetings (ready to present in Stage 3-Nov-Dec)
- Planning accommodations for full-time presence in Tallahassee during the next 60-day session (Stage 4-Jan 9, 2024-March 2024)
To join the Legislative Team or participate in any of the annual stages described above, [email protected] or talk to your FAC County Coordinator.

Hallelujah thank you Lord for being a ver present help in the time of trouble , your grace your mercy🙏🏽. Your goodness Thank you FAC family for our work. Keep the faith keep going🙏🏽
Amen!
I really thought that Book’s idea to force green license plates on every vehicle was nothing less than a target. I also thought that perhaps she thought if she asked for the green plate, that the lawmakers may believe that the request for the ” red letter” on driver’s license was the lesser of the two evils and not feel like the red lettering was over the top.
I can’t describe how relieved I am that none of this ” punishment” made it a new law. My whole family, my life, my job, even my sense doing the next right thing would drastically change.
Thanks to all… even if it was only Prays that u could offer. I’m still in disbelief that we are not subjected to move punishment.
FAC… when I was reporting at my last update to register…I told two, new to this State that FAC was a must do and contact them and that FAC would be able to guide them with information on registration requirements.
I am not speaking for FAC but for myself only: Those prayers mattered.
Amen! Glory to God and thanks and gratitude to all who worked so hard for us all.
Hey I’m glad for all of you all in Florida. While its bad enough in VA for some much of this identification is a bit of a branding and red lettering on a license plate is a bit unjust. So legislator wasn’t thinking. I’m glad for you all in Florida.
FAC you must of gave them a hands down on much of this branding. Good work.
@Saddles
Thank you for the encouragement Saddles, are you not in Florida? I didn’t know people came on here that were not in Florida.
if they are not going to remove the registry how about lobbying for a tiered system so the minor infractions are not on the registry for life
Thanks so much FAC.
What is Lauren Book’s timeline now with this session over? One more before she is time maxed, e.g., next year?
