And by your vote CS for S SB 530, is reported favorably and now I will turn the chair over Senator Pizzo to keep us rolling and I will rejoin shortly. >> Okay. Senator Bradley is gonna present SB 204. You're recognized present the bill. I screwed that up. Everybody Chair Bradley so professional grateful that you have it and I didn't plan. >> Just as we planned, I will be presenting as the 204. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chairman members SP 204 strengthens enforcement against illegal slot operators while also providing and avenue protection for our well-intentioned veteran service organizations by allowing them to petition the gaming Commission for a declaratory statement as to whether machine is lawful, specifically this bill elevates illegal slot machine operation to a third-degree felony. These legal slot operations are not low level offenses and many are organized criminal enterprises. The current penalty, a misdemeanor has proven an effective deterrent and has been treated as a cost of doing business by bad actors. These legal slot operations fuel, secondary criminal activity, undermine Florida's regulated gaming network framework and disproportionately harm vulnerable populations. And important component of the bill is that it provides a pathway for well intentioned veteran service organizations from being unintentionally swept up in enforcement. Actions meant for criminal gambling enterprises. Currently many out organizations only learned their allegedly violating gambling gambling law after enforcement has begun. Because provisions may not always be clear. This bill allows those organizations to seek a declaratory statement from the gaming Commission as to the legality of the game. The commission has 60 days to respond and their conclusion is a binding interpretation upon which the organization can rely and will serve as good faith, evidence of compliance in any future proceeding. That is the bill. Thank you. Any questions from members. >> Appearance forms ship case executive director of the Florida Faith and Freedom Coalition is waiving in support. Michelle David from China Holdings is waiving or speaking time in support. Stuart Scott speaking for information followed by the executive director will be speaking Mr. Scott were just I kind of scribbled that's holding Senator Bradley for going presenting bills. We just keep it. You got, you know, you know, you know, we're doing okay. Thank you. Go. >> Chair vice chair. My fellow veterans are up here members. I'm one of those organizations that you're concerned about. And while we are in soft opposition of the way, this bill is moving right now, it's more so because we don't think the other participant in this is coming in a good faith manner through numerous years of communications with them asking for clarification, giving us a well-defined other machine that we can use being go is simple. Right now it's called being go. 75 balls a drop. It's fun. Here's a dot. And that the things we're trying to move that into an electronic format. And with that being said, we just think that if they were to come to the table in good faith, we would be in full support. Our room would be packed here. Thank you for getting all the elicit gambling activity out of all of Florida. But as it stands now, we have to be an SOP to position. We look forward to working with you. We've got some language ready to give you so. Thank you, sir. >> The exact new executive director of Florida game one of them are. >> Good afternoon. Thank you for letting me speak today. I just wanted to let you know that we are in support of this bill and we sincerely thank you for for bringing it to where it is at this point. And we really look forward to working with you moving forward. Thank you all syntax. >> Members in debate on 204 and the debate. Senator Bradley, you're recognized close. >> Thank you, Mister Chair. I look forward Mister Scott to looking at language that we think I understand the history has. >> Built some distrust. The attempt is to try to 4 to require the commission to respond and statutorily to deck statement within 60 days. Let's make sure we have a framework were both both sides. Both folks can come to a conclusion that that give some certainty going forward. That's the goal and I look forward to working with you and getting it where it needs to be. Thank you. And with that, I clicked, right. So let's go. Let's go. >> Senator Bernard. Yes, Senator Boyd Senator Bracy Davis. Yes, senator Broder, Senator Burgess, Senator cloudy 8, Senator Mayfield, vice chair pair Pizzo Chair Bradley. >> By Your Vote Show SB 2.

Senator Smith has a really good Bill. >> We're not going to be taking up formally tab 3, 6, 0, 8, on vacation rentals by Senator Smith because it's been incorporated into a proposed committee substitute. We're going to take up Tab. 2 SB 658, water safety requirements for the rental residential property by Senator Burgess, Senator Burgess. >> Thank you, Mister Chair. I appreciate having a good hair day. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank committee staff and Chair Bradley for a kind of really exciting. First. I don't know that we've done this since I've been in the legislature on either side, either side of the Rotunda. We are merging 2 bills together and I'm honored that we're going to do with my my colleague, Senator Smith. If you could come to the podium, sir, since we're gonna we're gonna. >> Present this to head a dragon together. It's a good balance bill and I skip something. No, but that now having said that, explain it to the to the to the viewing. Senator Burgess moves to take up. He CS for SB 658 by Senator Burgess and SB 608, by Senator our code 5, 5, 3, 7, 0, 6, If I may differ to my esteemed colleague, Senator Smith, I'd be honored if you present the bill. Let's show that motion adopted. I don't see any objection or any objection or right. Senator Burgess, you're recognized to explain the bill, but you've asked Senator Smith to to explain a provision of the bill. There's math. Take it away. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair and thank you, Madam Chair. I have the honour. Thank Senator Burgess of giving you a quick intro on the two-headed drag and that he has just call this proposed committee substitute. So we bring before you today. Water safety bills to help address the epidemic of child drowning in our state. According to the Department of Health, drowning is the number one cause of death for children, ages one through 4 in the state of Florida. Here's what's shocking in 2023. 97 children fatally drowned in our state in 2020 for 105 children drowned. Sadly last year, Florida not only lead the nation for the number of fatal child drownings. We shattered our own previous record. 119 children lost a drowning in our state last year. And it's not just the quantity of deaths that is so staggering. Florida also has the highest rate, a fatal child drowning in the nation for ages one through 4 and just 0 through 9 in a recent multi-year period. We also have over a million backyard swimming pools and we're home to thousands of bodies of water in lakes and retention ponds. This bill are these bills are the PC S will require all residential rental properties, including those used as vacation rentals to be equipped with specific water or pool safety mechanisms. Now, let me go into the details on this P Cs because now I'm presenting the P Cs, not just that the Maine framework for our 2 bills in in our combined bill. We are retaining the provisions of Senate Bill 658. That was by Senator Burgess related to landlords and longer term rental properties. And then we're adding the language from Senate Bill 608, which is the bill that I introduced un-sponsored related to vacation rentals. And we're also including additional enforcement provisions. So this PC S just to give you the black and white implications of what we're doing, it will require that a landlord who's occupied property exists with in 150 feet of a water body. That is not a swimming pool that they are equipped with either one of 2 water safety features. It's one or the other to comply either all doors and windows that provide direct access to the exterior of the dwelling where that body of water exists need to be equipped with an exit alarm or all doors providing direct access to the exterior need to be equipped with the self-closing south flashing locking device with the release mechanism place no lower than 54 inches above the ground which is about 4 and a half feet. The PC S also requires all landlords and vacation rentals that have a swimming pool, residential swimming pool on the premises to be equipped with at least one out of 5 pool safety options that are defined in Florida statute. 5, 15, 27, those 5 that they have to choose from. Not all 5, just one of the 5 is either a pool fence or a pool cover or a flotation alarm. That sounds when there's an unexpected entry into the swimming pool or the self latching lock on all the doors and windows I just described or the alarm, the exit alarm. That sounds when any of those windows or doors that leads out to the swimming pool opens. Of course vacation rentals are regulated by dbpr. So dbpr we'll have the authority under this bill to revoke the license or fine. A licensee for noncompliance, of course, with some exceptions. If a, if a guest in the vacation rental removes the device for some reason, they would have the opportunity to correct that. And they're given 45 days after receiving knowledge of the violation to correct it without any penalties. And then finally, the bill does not prohibit a local government from adding their own provisions to add to this water safety floor, if you well. So that gives our local jurisdictions who want to voluntarily have the ability to enforce the vacation rental provisions of this law voluntarily on their own with their own resources. That is the explanation of the APCs Amendment. Barcode 5, 5, 3, 7, 0, 6, >> Are the questions on the proposed committee substitute? There shouldn't be because that was an incredibly thorough presentation of that. Bill. Thank you for that chair Pizzo Lee. Are there any appearance forms proposed to substitute what we have here for the uninitiated because charter exception. We have people have some good people here came up especially from cocoa, great members of Cocoa Beach, the waiving in support unless I hear otherwise. Daniel Post in from from from Coco Austin is waiving in support or even sport APCs as well to combine Bill. Excellent. Richard Killer Killer Lard right is also waiving in support like the Cs, Too, or he does. John O'Brien from Cocoa. You like the CS for 3 for 3. You go. Dallas Thiessen, thanks for the fanatics waiving in support Florida Swimming pool association. You like this one, too. Yes, you do aren't awesome. And then back on 6.58. We had Dallas Thiessen liking 6.58 to some combined. Right? Okay. Excellent. Are there a debate debate the bill? Senator Burgess? >> If I may debate Mr. Chair Excel tougher to close for Senator Smith on this. I Senator Smith. I missed you saying this. I think it's important highlight twice. Even if you did say already that this is particularly important and the state of Florida for children with autism, who when they feel overwhelmed and they often try to escape to a quiet place such as underwater. So it's really critical that we recognize that it is an even more important reason why we're putting some safety parameters around these types of situations. The bill requires simple safe compliance is for rental and vacation rental properties that help make our children safer. And I want to thank Senator Smith for his cooperation on this. This is really awesome that we get to tag team in the Senate, do this together with Senator Bradley and Buterin his team for really digging in on a way that we can make both great efforts kind of run jointly and concurrently and it takes a willingness and in the middle of limited bandwidth type of scenario like this desire to kind of, you know, work to make that happen. And this is a really cool example of what happened when you do that. You care. So appreciate you all. Senator Smith, I would love for you to close if there's no further debate, sir, for bringing all. >> Thank you. Senator Burgess can said it better. And I also want to personally thank Chair Bradley. It was her idea to merge these 2 bills. And when she came to me and the Senate floor and said, hey, this is how we do things in the Florida Senate. I'm not in agreement like, yeah, yeah. And that's a good thing. Thank you for your leadership on bringing these 2 bills that are trying to do the same thing together. And I'm certainly very appreciative to my colleague, Senator Burgess on partnering with me on this bill and also to staff in regulated industries have just been tremendously helpful and insightful and all their work in collaboration. Look, I think it's important too, restate the facts. And I know senators, we hear lots of facts and are kind of numb to the data and statistics. But it's important to really percolate on this as senators before we take this vote, 19 fatal child drownings in Florida last year. Remember, that is 19 families who were shattered by devastating loss in our state. According to DCF, one in 4 of these children who died were autistic. One in 4, 10% of the overall deaths for child drownings in Florida last year happened on vacation rental properties. 19% of them overall happened in lakes, ponds and retention ponds. And get this 67% of those fatal child drownings. Last year, 67% occurred in residential sending pulse. I believe 100% of these tragedies are preventable. And the solutions are right in front of us, stronger education, safer environments and consistent safety standards that protect families no matter where they live or where they visit. It's a crisis that we have the power and the responsibility to confront. I humbly ask for your support. >> Please call the Roll for Cs for SB 658 and SB 608. >> Senator Bernard, Senator Boyd Senator Bracy Davis. Yes, senator Broder, Senator Burgess Senator Calatayud Senator Mayfield, vice chair pizzo yes, Chair Bradley. >> And by your Vote show Cs for SB 658. And SB 608, reported favorably. Thank you, Senator Senator, back to Chair Bradley. >> Thank you very much. All right. Members we will take up Tab 6 SB 980, nicotine dispensing devices by Senator Calatayud Senator Calatayud. There is a delete everything amendment. Do you wish to take that up? Yes, Madam Chair. All right. We will take up Amendment bar code 3, 8, 1, 7, 8, 4, by Senator Calatayud. You are recognized to explain the amendment. Thank you, Madam Chair. >> The Senate bill delete all amendment establishes the Florida H Key Act creating clear restrictions on the advertising motion and display of non FDA approved nicotine dispensing devices and retail environments accessible to individuals under 21 is advertising and display restrictions would not apply to nicotine dispensing devices that it received marketing authorization from the FDA. It sets escalating administrative penalties for violations and directs find revenue towards enforcement and youth prevention efforts. The bill also provides that if a dealer or dealers agent or employee commits a 3rd or subsequent violation within 12 weeks after the first violation, that person commits a misdemeanor of the second degree. The division must conduct regular inspections of licensed premises of dealers who sell Non-approved disposal devices to ensure compliance provides an applicant for retail nicotine product dealer permit by accepting the permit. Also agrees that the places or premises covered by the permit is subject to the inspections search without a search warrant by the FDLE to determine compliance. That is the delete all Amendment. Madam Chair, thank you for that explanation. Are there questions on the Amendment? Senator Boyd? >> Thank you, Madam Chair and thank you, Senator Calatayud. I suppose as best as now may be back on the real bill, the probably the same question would apply. And thanks for spending time earlier today. We'll be talking about this. Some of us got some information that said suggested perhaps that this bill would allow illegal products to from China and specifically in some other places to be sold in the various stores that offer these products. My understanding is, and this is my questions. So I Madam Chairman, I ask a question, correct me if I'm wrong, the bill specifically is trying to get those products wherever they are and then wherever they come from and whatever the particular product is behind the counter. So young people, you know, minors would not have access to be able to get them in by and use them the illegal products, which I think if I want to, I agree with this and my question, you don't condone either. But the enforcement of re removing those illegal products is quite a task and was a federal task or a state task moneys and resources allocated to to do that or, you know, we still have to work on. So all that to say, my question is, is that is my understanding, correct. And and what this bill actually does, and some of the things we've been kind of told today might not actually be 100% correct. >> You're recognized. Thank you, Madam Chair, thank you for the question. Senator. This legislation specifically is making sure that the majority project products on the market. The non FDA approved nicotine devices, which are currently sold all across the United States are pushed away from minors. So they are being sold today without FDA approval in convenience stores in a gas stations across the country, cetera, et cetera. This legislation make sure that in Florida there is a prohibition on marketing these devices on display in promoting them and that in all of these locations that there is a definitive barrier between people under 21 years old. And these picks explicitly these products of this is not apply to the federally approved FDA approved nicotine devices, but only the ones who are not so that our goal here is there's a reality that that these products are all across the market. There is not federal for state enforcement dollars to engage with us, nor has there been FDA willingness to meet their own deadlines for reviewing and approving of product. So with that reality and Florida inundated with products we want to do the wisest thing the Legislature can do and ensure that these products are removed from marketing promotion and access to people under 21 years old. >> Follow-up, you're record book. Thank You, Madam Chair. Thank you for that explanation. So is it safe to say that this bill, he's trying to keep a note to keep these products, whatever they are and the miners, but we still have work to do on the enforcement side, which would be another effort, a busy policy or funding at some point in the future. >> Thank. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for the question. Senator. In lieu of a magnificently expensive enforcement effort by probably the federal and state governments together across this country, this is a really meaningful way to protect minors. >> Outside of the enforcement and I mean, we have a lot of things like that go on. We don't necessarily other resources to be all places at all times. But what's the problem with just saying any one of these nicotine dispensing products that's not FDA approved is not allowed to be sold in the state of Florida. >> Thank you for the question. The reality is these these products are so it is the non approved FDA product is supposed to be is essentially not approved to to to be sold in this way. But it is. So there's there's what ought to be based on the federal regulation of what is approved versus the reality, not just in Florida but across the country and certainly inundated in Florida. And so what we're trying to do is engage with the reality of the situation in our state versus what we should like it to be if there was the capacity to enforce the federal law or perhaps the capacity in the desired this time. >> Follow up. >> And I know there's a lot of us. They're gonna be a lot of unscrupulous, you know, opportunistic individuals or entities or groups are, you know, if a lot of these things are salt and I'm not naming any specific places. But if we have large retailers in Florida that that are good corporate partners, you know, whether it's while our racetrack or Sunoco or next honor are any of these places? It doesn't actually follow per se that if we were to say non FDA approved or inspected or review nicotine, dispensing products are not allowed for sale in Florida that, you know, if we're talking about these big box retailers that might have 60 70% market share of the state, they're likely to comply and just not distributed and allow for the sail of not FDA approved product. Would that be easier? >> Thank you for the question. I think the reality is there is a general market demand for this and there would just be created a black market. So we we have options with the realities in front of us. And I think this is a meaningful way to deal with the realities in lieu of a substantial funding abilities to deal with enforcement mechanism, even to that in all right, anything additional? >> Are there any additional questions on the amendment? All right. I'm going to turn the chair over to Senator Pizzo and I will go present my bill and you are in capable hands. >> Thanks for back in the bill as amended any questions. There are none appearance forms. None of the amendment. Now we're back on the bill isn't right. Any question of the bill as amended. No appearance forms we do. Lorena Holley is from Florida. Retail Federation is waiving against Jennifer Cunningham. Juul Labs is waiving against. >> Michael bowling of rock bottom bottling, I believe, is waiving in support. Nick Orlando from Florida smoke-free association is waiving in support. Jason, is it philbrook? But look for drip is waiving in support members. Is there debate also briefly just living in Italy for year of being on the side prosecutor? I was a smoker and then tried just about every smoking cessation device that there is this dangerously floats. The line that that your bill not not very trying to confirm you're trying to save kids and the healthy thing in the right thing. But there's actually right now a counterfeit market for products that are not FDA approved. I think what you said was very telling and very honest, which is there's a huge market demand for it. But we also saw this with we've seen this with drugs, which is we know there's a demand for it. We have limited resources for enforcement in for law enforcement, at the very least. Let's give out test strips that we know what, what's what's you know, what's laced and what's not. But if you add on to a couple markets local here in Tallahassee, they're selling counterfeit nicotine, dispensing devices, counterfeit to to products that are just they themselves are an FDA approved. I like the idea of reliance and for companies and hard work in good faith companies and people to be able to have some reliance those that did go through the FDA vetting and review process. I did. So I think it in a relatively good faith basis, at least for a commercially and those that are that did not. It's just not acceptable answer that that just because they're such an overwhelming market for we kind of have to allow it to happen. So I'm voting for the bill, but I think we can go further. I think that the people that have larger market share of selling these products will comply and will not allow either their own company operated stores or franchisees to to continue to sell this product. You're recognized to close. >> Thank you very much, Mister Chair. Thank you to the members of the committee who have discuss this topic with me. And I also welcome of both members of this committee and over the future committees, any and all feedback and suggestions to work towards what my purposes 2 keep kids safe from products that could harm them and provide the best possible information to do with that. I ask for your favorable support but also your support and making the bill as good as it can be graze. It can be. Thank you. >> Susan, please call the Roll for SB 980, Senator Bernard death. Senator Boyd. Yes, senator Bracy Davis. Yes, senator Broder. Yes. Senator Burgess, Senator Calatayud Senator Mayfield, vice chair pizzo. Yes. Chair Bradley. >> By your vote. Let's show SB 980. Is reported favorably. I see President Gaetz is in the room coming. Officer in the next contests of the press is right. >> Yeah. There was a master of what your sure. Sure. >> Flattery will get you nowhere, sir. All wrapped but tab for an explanation of their licensure might get you to mention the yea vote ahead. I want to try Mr. Chairman, this bill makes a limited targeted change to Florida's veterinary licensure by endorsement statute. Current law requires that and how to state that Marion has have practiced for 3 consecutive years immediately before applying for licensure in Florida, even if so, a vegetarian is licensed active and in good standing. This bill removes that arbitrary timing requirement keeping all other safeguards in place, including education, passing examinations and meeting all competency requirements. The purpose of the bill is to reduce barriers for qualified been areas South Florida can better address the shortage in veterinary care, particularly for pet owners, shelters and seasonal communities. That is the bill. Any members want to ask question, look silly. I didn't think so. Are there appearance forms on the bill? There are Daniel Martinez from Danny work on your hand or I mean, I know you are.

Senator Broder, Senator Burgess Senator Calatayud Senator Mayfield, vice chair pizzo yes, Chair Bradley. >> And by your vote we're going to show SB 17. 0, 8, reported favorably. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Mister Chairman Tab no dose. Today's Caucusing Co 5 SB 680, by Senator Mayfield, Electronic Electric vehicle charging Taxation. Thank you, Mister Chairman. >> Members under current law parade ERs of EV charging stations are charged sales tax twice on the same electricity. The first tax is levied when the operator, the charging station purchased electricity from the power company. The second taxes levied when the electricity is and if that heinously transferred to the consumer from the operator Senate Bill 680, address, this double taxation and Mr. Chair, I have a strike. All Amendment Barcode. 1, 2, 9, 6, 1, 8, I drafted this amendment alongside the Redding regulated industry staff and I'd like to that more effectively solved the problem and I'd like to take up.
