Section I. Introduction
Prior to the 2014 Legislative Regular Session, AARP Florida advised legislators that it would publish this final report on voting records for bills identified by AARP as having special significance for our members and Florida’s older residents. When a bill was selected for vote recording and was placed on an agenda to be heard, AARP Florida notified legislators by email (See p. 6 for an example). The email stated that AARP would track the bill and report the votes on that bill, or any successor bill through the entire legislative process. AARP also provided updates on the status of the bill to its volunteers and stakeholders through the AARP blog and AARP Twitter accounts. Section I provides the communication to legislators on vote recording and a complete list of all Florida legislators and their parties, districts, and county legislative delegations. Section II provides a summary of all the bills AARP Florida selected for the final voting record report. The summaries identify the pages where readers may review the voting records for each bill. Section III provides a summary of other bills of interest that were not selected for vote recording. The legend below,
