Florida House to Split Heated Tourism Bills

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

The Florida House announced it will separate its recently updated measures to cut spending on Visit Florida and eliminate funding for Enterprise Florida into two bills, which will be voted on individually.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, a House panel will take the Visit Florida measures out of HB 7005, which contains the repeal of several economic development programs, and put them into HB 9. The new legislative session begins on Tuesday, March 7, and a floor vote on both bills is expected to occur later in the week.

More information on the Visit Florida and Enterprise Florida bills is available via the Orlando Sentinel.
