HB 1021 is on the move! ✅

Proud to share that my bill, Medication Administration by Pharmacists, has officially PASSED its last committee and is now headed to the House Floor.

This legislation is rooted in a simple truth, when life-threatening emergencies happen in our hospitals… seconds matter.

HB 1021 makes sure that in those critical moments, highly trained pharmacists in trauma centers can step in, under physician direction, to administer emergency medications, ensuring that every second is used to save a life.

Because when seconds matter, we should be doing everything possible to help patients survive and recover.

On to the House Floor. Let’s keep working.

✅ PASSED on the House Floor

Proud to share that House Bill 1021 has passed the Florida House. This legislation expands the ability of pharmacists to administer medications in emergency situations, helping ensure patients receive care when every second matters.

This is about delivering for the people and protecting their health, strengthening access to care, and making sure our healthcare system works when Floridians need it most.

Grateful to my colleagues and healthcare advocates who helped move this forward.

It bans as a condition of employment for an employer to require any training, instruction, or any other activity regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. And it says that job applications and similar employment forms cannot provide a nonbinary option on questions of a person’s gender….

Quoting a portion of a Labriola social media post that resulted in his termination, Rep. RaShon Young, D-Orlando, said Thursday in the House Government Operations Subcommittee that “no employer should be forced by the state to retain someone whose words undermine the integrity and safety and mission of their workplace.

Republicans vs. Democrats, but all heart and all for a great cause. Proud to hit the field for the first time as a member of the Florida Legislature!

This MLK Weekend was full and meaningful. From parades and community celebrations to interviews and speaking engagements, I was honored to be out in the community reflecting on Dr. King’s legacy and the responsibility we all share to serve, lead, and uplift one another.
