Table added to track Florida’s 2021 Bills
We recently updated the table on our website with the Bills currently being considered by the 2021 Florida Legislature that impact persons required to register. You can access this table from the header on our website labeled “2021 Legislation” that will lead you to this page: https://floridaactioncommittee.org/2021-legislation/
Thank you to the volunteer for our Legislative Committee who put this together for us.
We will continue to update you as they pass through (or fail to pass through) the legislative process.

Be careful in the tracking. We have a member tracking bills regarding citizens required to register and while looking to see which room the hearing was to be in I saw that something was changed at 1:15 AM that morning and asked when something like the occurs shouldn’t the public be given the required 24 hours notice.
This week shows no committee meetings so legislators are in a filing frenzy to beat the supposed 2/26 deadline. So far 173 bills have been filed bringing the total to 2,566.
A new Book bill [SB 96 – Child Welfare] was just filed 2/23, but was immediately referred to CFE Affairs committee on 2/24. Book is the chair of CFE.

The bill makes bestiality and/or possession of bestiality photos, videos, etc. a 3rd degree felony. This was previously a 1st degree misdemeanor. Using a child in this manner is a 2nd degree felony.
Thanks to all who made this table possible and available to us. Is anyone working to Dox the persons and businesses opposed to our cause and interests. Names, photos, business affiliations etc. so that we can all recognize and be aware of who and what the opposition is? Realizing that all that information is publicly available, it would still be convienent to have it all in one location. It would be helpful to know where not to spend our money and whom to approach to express our concerns.

GREAT JOB FAC LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE
Can’t FL just put a sign at all the borders and ports of entry that says “FU – Go away?” I mean CS/SB 219 and 522 could be a real issue if say your flight got canceled due to weather and now you’re stuck in FL. Is “Vacation Rentals” a specific type of lodging and not just a hotel? Seems to me they’d be one in the same.
And I also like SJR 854… basically creating a new slave class. Excellent work folks of FL in the legislature…
