ACT TODAY - Voice Your Opposition to HB 5005



ATTENTION LAND SURVEYORS, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND INTERIOR DESIGNERS: Your voice is needed right now. The Florida Legislature is considering a bill that would dismantle regulation for land surveyors, landscape architects, interior designers and nearly 30 other professions in the state.

Time is critical. Your representatives need to hear from you.

This bill will be heard in the House Economic Affairs Committee beginning at 8:00am tomorrow, Thursday March 24th. It already cleared its first house committee stop last week. Click here to read a summary of the bill.
