The 1.35% property Tax Cap is making progress in the House and Senate.

The House Government Efficiency and Accountability Council will soon consider the bill (HB 949). (It has successfully moved out of urban and local affairs! Only one stop left before full House vote).
In addition, the Senate Community Affairs committee will vote yes or no on 4/9 (SB 2190). (It was a major victory to get it on the agenda over the objections of Senate President Ken Pruitt).
These committee votes will be required to move the bills closer to votes by the full House and Senate!

We have made other great progress, thanks to you our grassroots supporter!

In response to our first message, over 2,200 people emailed or mailed over 44,000 messages to key committee members in the House and Senate! One Senator told our Vice-Chair personally that we were very effective.

We have overcome attempts to kill our bills by procedural technicalities and delays.
We are starting to get Senators and Representatives ON THE RECORD for/against our cap.

We have partnered with the Florida Taxpayer Union and contracted with an experienced lobbyist who has helped us compete with the lobbyists of the local governments .
We need more help. Please TAKE ACTION (click button below) to contact more Senate and House Committee members.

Let's keep the pressure on so we can get tax relief this year!
