LP Florida Platform Committee

October 2025 Report
Chair: Karl Dickey Platform & Legislative Activities
Legislative Wing Activities

In late September, we met along with ex officio Ed to assign bills we are tracking and get the
committee moving. Unfortunately, I have continued to have a family member with serious issues
distracting me from my duties, and I am working on a resolution so I can get back on track.
We will likely meet again in early November.
 I expect to have some potential PR for LPF EC and
Communications on some of these bills soon (2-3 weeks).
At our early November meeting, I expect to review two potential Platform proposals that may be up
for consideration for the LPF EC/Next Business Convention.
