HB 1383/SJ 661-signed into Law

Posted on Jun 21 in Member Blog

Good Morning,

I received an update this morning that the Governor signed HB 1383/SJ 661 into Law yesterday. It extends the deadline for sunsetting of local licenses until July 1, 2024, but it also provides a bit more clarity on the counties abilities to continue to issue local licenses that are substantially similar to the State Level license. This is a partial victory and know we will have more work to do during next years legislative session.

Thank you to all that have supported me through the process of working with our legislatures to help correct the unintended consequences of HB 735.

Good News for now!!

HB735 Update –

Posted on Apr 24 in Member Blog

Representative Trabulsy amended her bill to match the Hooper bill with a couple minor differences. The preemption date is now July 1, 2024 in both bills and include state voluntary licensure for marine contractors through the CILB.

Both bills are now heading to the floor.

Time spent in Tallahassee and on the calls is paying off!
