Summary: The House Committee on Agriculture met with a quorum and considered only one item, House Concurrent Resolution 77. The resolution urges Congress, the President, and federal agencies to take action to allow crawfish industry job duties to be treated as agricultural labor for H-2A purposes and to support an H-2B-certified seasonal employer designation. Chairwoman Butler explained that the measure was prompted by problems with H-2A/H-2B worker availability and denials that have affected crawfish processors and other agricultural businesses in Louisiana. Several members spoke in support. Representative Coates said he wanted to co-author the resolution, Representative Henry described similar problems in his district and thanked the chair for advancing the issue, and Representative Schamerhorn also supported the resolution while noting concerns about reliance on foreign labor and stating that employers cover travel, background checks, housing, and wages averaging about $18 per hour. Representative Omaday moved to report HCR 77 favorably, and the committee approved the motion without objection. After the favorable report, the committee adjourned.

Summary: The Committee on Children, Families, and Elder Affairs heard and advanced four bills. CS/SB 1690, on early childhood education, was amended with a delete-all amendment that required public posting of child care inspection reports and data on child deaths, injuries, and substantiated abuse; changed certain notice and insurance provisions for family and large family child care homes; created the Florida Endowment for Early Learning; and made related definitional changes. The amendment was adopted and the committee reported the bill favorably. SB 1022, on children’s initiatives, would add two new Florida Children’s Initiatives in Bay County and Pompano in Broward County; the sponsor described the program as a community-based service network model, and the bill was reported favorably without opposition. SB 996, on dependent children, would require DCF and community-based care lead agencies to coordinate and regularly meet with organizations focused on people with lived experience in the child welfare system, and to publish how suggestions are implemented. Several young adults with foster care experience testified in support, emphasizing the importance of youth voice, normalcy, and teaching financial responsibility through allowance. The bill was reported favorably after supportive debate. The committee also considered CS/SB 1462, on temporary cash assistance eligibility, after adopting an amendment that narrowed a SNAP eligibility carve-out to people who were victims of human trafficking at the time of a drug conviction. The sponsor said the bill was intended to remove barriers to reunification and redemption. After supportive testimony and no opposition, the committee reported the bill favorably. The meeting then adjourned.

Summary: The House Committee on Agriculture met with a quorum and considered one item, House Concurrent Resolution 77 by Chairwoman Butler. The resolution memorializes Congress, the President, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Louisiana congressional delegation to support H-2B-certified seasonal employer designation and to reclassify crawfish industry job duties as agricultural labor services for purposes of the H-2A temporary agricultural worker program. Chairwoman Butler explained that crawfish processors and other employers in Louisiana have faced serious labor shortages and denials under the current H-2A/H-2B system, leaving some businesses unable to operate. Representative Henry spoke in support, saying the issue has been especially harmful in districts dependent on the crawfish and rice industries. Representative Coates asked to be added as a co-author, and Representative Schamerhorn also supported the resolution while noting broader concerns about reliance on foreign labor and stating that employers bear the costs of travel, background checks, and housing for H-2A workers. Despite those concerns, he said he would co-author the measure. The committee then voted to move HCR 77 favorably without objection. After the vote, the committee adjourned.
