Dear Digital Media Community,

As some of you have no doubt heard, HB 697, the House version of our economic incentive bill, passed late Tuesday afternoon — 117 to 0!!!!

The Bill’s primary co-sponsors (Rep Precourt, Rep Carroll, and Rep Ambler) did an outstanding job of presenting the bill, with Rep Glorioso and Rep Rehwinkel-Vasilinda standing with them in bi-partisan support.

To top it off, all 112 other representatives on the floor signed on as co-sponsors, so the sponsorship was unanimous as well as the vote! A tremendous success, on the heels of the Senate Jobs Bill passage.

One more to go (Senator Haridopolos’  companion bill, SB 1430, which enjoys strong support).   See Lucia Fishburne’s “Film 1” write-up for more details.

ACTION: DMAF asks you to thank the various supporters of the bill from our regions, and rightfully so! Please refer to earlier news posting, find your reprentative in the list, and reach out with your personal message of thanks!

Enjoy this tremendous success!!!  It continues to be a massive team effort. DMAF extends special thanks to Lucia Fishburne, David Caserta, Leah Sokolowski and the many other behind-the-scenes supporters of this legislative effort for their passionate and knowledgeable support and guidance.
