Florida CPA Today's 2025 Legislative Report is FINALLY here! From our relentless advocacy to the tireless efforts of our CPA Lawmakers – @RepMikeCaruso and Sen. @JoeGruters – here’s our look back on a momentous Legislative Session. https://t.co/KCh0PD1vd7
Congratulations to our National Committeeman and former Chairman @JoeGruters on being elected Treasurer of the @GOP! We know you will continue to serve our party with honor and integrity.
Our 2025 CPA Day at the Capitol is set for Jan. 22! This is your opportunity to meet with Florida legislators and stand up for the CPA profession in Tallahassee. Make your travel plans now and make your voice heard ahead of Florida's 2025 session: https://t.co/3suUF9XfuW
Congratulations to one of our CPA legislators, Sen. Joe Gruters! Today, Senate President-designate Ben Albritton announced that Sen. Gruters will join the Senate leadership team as chair of the Fiscal Policy Committee.
It seems we are being space cadets this morning! The correct link to vote is https://t.co/SzHDq6qcWp! 🚀
A vote for FHP is a vote for Florida! We need your help to secure the win!
Nothing to see here…just the world's tiniest Trooper (yes, that’s his name) working hard to put the final touches on FHP’s entry for this year's entry for the AAST Americas Best Looking Cruiser competition!
🚀🐊We are ready to embark on our mission beginning Monday, July 15th!
It was a pleasure speaking to @FICPA this morning. Florida is open for business, and I want to thank Florida CPA’s for all you do behind the scenes to help small businesses grow and thrive throughout our state. #FICPAMEGA
For the last 20 years, I've been fortunate to call @JimmyPatronis a friend. This morning, as President & CEO of the @FICPA, it was my honor to introduce Florida's CFO at #FICPAMEGA. Thank you, CFO Patronis, for managing the business affairs of the state of Florida!
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed HB 5001, the state budget for FY 2024-25.
Of interest to #CPAs: $200k has once again been approved for the Clay Ford Scholarship Program and $100k has been allocated to the @FloridaDBPR to combat unlicensed activity. https://t.co/n8czQXyKqe
The FICPA is proud to honor Sen. @JoeGruters with our 2024 Legislative Champion Award. Sen. Gruters played a leading role during this spring's Legislative Session, securing retired status for #CPAs and protecting the profession from legislation that would have devalued licensure.
And from this morning: We were honored on Tuesday with a special visit from Sen. Ed Hooper! Sen. Hooper is a longtime ally of the #CPA profession and friend of the @FICPA. We thank him for his leadership in Tallahassee and for making his way to #FICPAMEGA!
Wonderful to have Anthony, Danny, Joey, Angela and Johnny Nandin here in the Senate for the passage of SB 288 by @SenatorAMR the "Safeguarding American Families Everywhere (SAFE) Act!"
#NEW: Lawmakers file legislation requiring devices to filter sexual content if used by a child in Florida, other protections

I’m missing out on one of my favorite people @ChristinaPushaw ~ my team @HarrellBrayden sends me this selfie to rub it in 🤣. It’s okay, I’m not mad… if you don’t see Brayden tomorrow at the capital, you’ll know why 😂😂
This morning, our entire team was actually in the same place at the same time!
I could not do even half of what I do without each of these people pictured with me.
They all have an important role in such a dynamic mission serving the constituents in the panhandle.
They are my glue that holds everything together! People always ask me how I do so much, and I tell them that I have a great team. Sincerely, no truer words are spoken.
PS. The @PcolaChamber Legislative Luncheon was informative and fun!

What we learned today is that you can go undefeated and win your conference championship game, but the College Football Playoff committee will ignore these results.
Congratulations to @FSUFootball on an outstanding season and winning the ACC championship!
