"Leg - Update"
by Ann Teague
Update! Update! Update!
HB 445 and SB 782 will both be heard Friday March 26, 2010 in the Senate Committee on Criminal Justice and in the House Criminal & Civil Justice Appropriations Committee.
The bill is sponsored by Sen. Thrasher in the Senate and Rep. Dorworth in the House.
This is a bill is an industry bill filed to put teeth into the Citizens Right to Know Bill. The first step was Citizens Right to Know, and this is the second step. We all are watching our businesses decrease, as Pretrial keeps growing. We have regulations and they need to have some too!
If we don’t do something, we will slowly go out of business. This is going to be a huge commitment on us all. As you know Pretrial’s goal is to do away with commercial bail, and my question is are we going to let them?
Every Agent, Association local or state, and
Insurance Company will have to contribute funds for this to pass.
This is our livelihood. We must all be on the same page!
See attached copy of the bill.
Your representatives from BAIL Florida will be there to represent you the agent.
