Panama City, FL
The Florida Panhandle Nurse Practitioner Coalition

CAP-PAC has learned that Senator Gaetz and Senator Sobel are coordinating the special order calendar. Because HB 1195 passed through the house it was sent to the senate for consideration of placing it on the special order calendar for a floor vote. 

Senator Siplin and Representative Campbell just left a meeting with Senators Gaetz and Sobel to discuss placing HB 1195 on the special order calendar. 

After much discussion, Senators Gaetz and Sobel agreed and stated it would be placed on the calendar tomorrow, Friday. 

Rep. Campbell is asking that ARNPs email Senator Sobel and Senator Gaetz and thank them NOW. 

Senator Gaetz is scheduled to be Senate President next year. 

Please email Senator Sobel sobel.eleanor.web@flsenate.gov and Senator Gaetz gaetz.don.web@flsenate.gov 

Thank them for placing HB 1195 on the special order calendar. 

Together we will be victorious!
