From March 11, 2008

As was expected several bills of interest to AIF and the business community were debated today.  In this report you will find coverage on several education and workforce bills that are supported by AIF and its Florida Council on Education and Workforce (a group of business and education leaders interested in education reforms that will lead to a better workforce for Florida).

Health care was also a big topic today as the House held an unprecedented joint meeting of all four health care related committees during which Health Care Council Chair Representative Aaron Bean (R-Fernandina Beach) unveiled the House’s health insurance proposal designed to deal with the issue of Florida’s uninsured.

Wednesday should be another busy day as the House considers the “guns in the workplace” legislation during the Environment & Natural Resources Council meeting.
