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.

This little victory is good. See I caught my offense in 2012, It could of been a mister meander but when the agent wanted me to comedown and talk dirty to them. I let her rip. Call it “Two wrongs” well that’s basically what it is. They couldn’t get me on intent as who knows the thoughts and intent of another. Even the bible tells you that.
So the detective had to think of another way to charge me and that was “Action” which basically was the wrong Action. Even pressured a bit more upon my way down to meet this undercover agent. To get it all over I PLEAD GUILTY to get get it all over.
A true mister of God doesn’t work that way. Even Cherokee and some know that. So a bit of gospel helps in all situations.
Sure I wanted to go to court and the detective knew that so he gives me an offer to save face with this plea deal. Course I’m labeled “lifetime” till its over for many involved in all this. Circumstances are circumstances.
How about one more email. Senator DiCeglie was the one man who was courageous enough to add an amendment to the bill, eliminating the Red Lettering on our licenses.
Making friends is always better than making enemies.
Hallelujah we have won the victory. Praise The Lord my prayers have been answered. God does here our prayers and He is a forgive God. He forgives us and gives us second chances. Thank you all and your spouses for getting the word out to stop this bill from passing. It’s so great to have a Sigh of relief. 😇😀😀😀
This has been such a victory for us as a movement and our family. I sent hundreds of email and left voicemails and I do believe that it made a difference. I would like to ask when the emails are posted it it can be posted with a list ready to be copy and paste. I had a hard time coping each email and add the comas to each in order to be sent, if the list can be ready to sent that will make a huge different for people that do not know how to get it done.
Thank to all the FAC members to sent email and Phone calls and were in person. Out gratitude goes above and beyond. Thank you!! Thank You All
If you try to send an email to multiple addresses at one time, there is a chance your email could go to the spam folder for the legislators. That is why I sent my emails to one legislator at a time. Yes, it was time consuming, but well worth the extra effort.
I bcc as many as the mail provider said it could. For Yahoo it was 90. I received replies from many, so I don’t think they went to spam.
That is good to hear. Thank you for letting us know.
Thank you everyone who participated in this.
And remember to stop this from happening year after year help and Donate to FAC what ever you can spare whether that be time or money or just your voice.
Thank you as well to the 2 $500 donors recently
How my heart overflows reading all the comments, I am so thankful for all of you.
So many picked up the phone and sent emails.
It’s so exciting to see such unity.
My wife, daughter and friends jumped right in there also.
So thankful to our God, for all of you.
We may not be able to get together to celebrate. But we can rejoice together.
Thank God for FAC.
I thank your wife, daughters, and friends for helping us out. That is what helped us so much—the people who were not forced to be on a registry who contacted legislators.
