Lant: A Busy, Exciting First Week

What an exciting first week this has been! I don't really know what I expected but we are on the go from 7:00 A.M. until 9:00 A.M. most every day. There is so much to learn but thankfully, there are always people who are willing to help us learn it! Much of the time has been spent getting acquainted with people that are serving on the same committee and finding our way to the hearing rooms.

We passed House Resolution 39 overwhelmingly, calling upon our Attorney General to join 21+ other Attorney Generals around the nation in the federal lawsuit pending in the State of Florida that is challenging the federal healthcare law. We will be reviewing and passing the permanent House Rules governing our procedures for the 96th General Assembly on Thursday [HR38]. I am sure that next week will bring a flurry of activity as many bills are being prepared for introduction. At last count 120 plus bills have been filed. Naturally, not all of these will make it out of committees, but it promises to be a very busy session.

Please contact my office or call me with any concerns. I will do my best to answer all calls and e-mails as quickly as possible.
