The Committee on Commerce and Tourism of the Florida Legislature convened on March 25, 2025, to discuss several key appointments and legislative matters. The meeting primarily focused on the confirmation of three individuals to various state boards and commissions.

Senator Wright initiated a motion to recommend the confirmations of Moshe Popak to the Florida Development Finance Corporation, Scott Workman to the Board of Supervisors of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, and Jerry Atkinson to the Reemployment Assistance Appeals Commission. The motion was met with no objections and was adopted unanimously by the committee members.

Following the confirmations, the committee turned its attention to Senate Bill 868, introduced by Senator Angolia. Senator Angolia requested to take up an amendment that would substantially alter the bill's content. The committee agreed to consider this amendment, indicating a willingness to engage with the proposed changes.

Overall, the meeting underscored the committee's commitment to filling important positions within Florida's governance and advancing legislative initiatives. The next steps will involve further discussions on Senate Bill 868 as it progresses through the legislative process.
