FALI's Bills to Repeal the Tax on Investigative Services Have Been Filed in the Florida House & Senate!

Member assistance is IMPERATIVE to get them across the finish line!

Greetings FALI Members,

The 2023 Florida Legislative Session begins on Tuesday, March 7th. After coming so close to having our bills passed during the 2022 Session we are pleased to announce that our bills are filed for 2023:

HB 205 (Rep. Peggy Gossett-Seidman) and
SB 116 (Sen. Ana Maria Rodriguez)

There has already been media coverage regarding these bills. Click HERE for the article that ran in Florida Politics.

Over the last few years the FALI Legislative Team has worked hard with our lobbyists to show the Department of Revenue that they were overestimating the PI profession's contribution to tax revenue for many reasons including the fact that they grouped us with security and alarm companies, who are taxable.

With the assistance of the Division of Licensing we were able to get our A licensees separated out from other licenses so they could pull the legitimate numbers regarding our contribution.

There are over 2,600 A licensees in Florida. It is important that those who are FALI members participate in sending letters to members of the Legislature to show their support of this legislation. You are their constituents, and they need to know why this is important to your livelihood. We are making it easy for you by providing a sample letter, however, we strongly encourage you to use your own words to help support the bills.

2. Copy the letter onto your letterhead.
3. Update any of the information that pertains to you and your agency.
4. If you have a story to share that would help the cause, feel free to add it in the space provided. Otherwise please delete that section.
5. Please address three separate letters as follows:

6. Return to admin@fali.org as a PDF document. All three letters can be in one document.

Please return your letter as soon as possible, preferably no later than Monday, February 6th. Thank you for your assistance. Please let us know if you have any questions
