HB 1133-Relating to Emergency Management
On Thursday, February 18th, HB 1133, relating to Emergency Management, by Rep. Dana Young (R-Tampa) was heard by the House Economic Affairs Committee and unanimously passed with 13 yeas and 0 nays. AIF stood in support of this bill.

This legislation would remove hindrances, such as taxes and regulations, that in any other situation would be the normal course of business for out of state companies coming to Florida to assist with emergency response during a disaster situation.

HB 1133 will now go to the House floor for consideration.

AIF supports legislation that will remove the loop holes’ businesses would ordinarily have to go through when coming to Florida to aide in a state of emergency.
