Statement on the Passage of HB 1205 – Amendments to the State Constitution by Mark Wilson, President & CEO of the Florida Chamber of Commerce

“The Florida Chamber of Commerce would like to congratulate Floridians on the passage of HB 1205 as it is a much-needed step in the right direction to protect Floridians and the Florida Constitution they live under from out-of-state and special interests. We are grateful for Governor Ron DeSantis, Senators Erin Grall and Don Gaetz and Representative Jenna Persons-Mulicka for their leadership in protecting Florida’s Constitution. For decades, the Florida Chamber has led the effort to safeguard our state’s foundational document because Floridians and local businesses across our state deserve a constitution that provides certainty and stability, not one that is up for sale every two years.”  -Mark Wilson, President & CEO, Florida Chamber of Commerce
