Gaining Traction on unintended consequence’s of HB735

Leadership for both the State House & State Senate have requested Bill’s be presented to correct the issue’s pertaining to HB735 and our locally licensed Marine Contractor’s. I will be heading to Tallahassee on Monday & Tuesday next week to meet with State Senator Ed Hooper & State Representative Jim Mooney to discuss the bills.

We have been given verbal confirmation that the local licensing issue for Florida Marine Contractors will be rectified during this session, which will end sometime in May 2023.

I would like to thank the Board and Membership for your continued Support! I feel confident we are heading in the right direction and will have a resolution soon.

Thank you,
Kelly White
Executive Director
