AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2016 Ratings of Florida

Dear Fellow Conservatives,

We are pleased to present the American Conservative Union Foundation’s ratings for the 2016 meeting of the Florida Legislature. Like our Congressional Ratings, our State Ratings reflect how elected officials view the role of government in an individual's life. The Florida legislators with the highest scores voted most consistently with the ideals articulated in the U.S. Constitution: limited and transparent government, individual rights, personal responsibility, and lasting cultural values.

In 2015, ACU Foundation was proud to make history by being the first organization to rate every single state legislature across the full spectrum of issues, helping each voter understand how his or her state ranks among the rest.

Ultimately, we are trying to help people understand what conservatism is and how it improves the lives of everyday Americans. Conservatism is the political philosophy that sovereignty resides in the person. We think that understanding this idea is essential if Americans are to successfully govern themselves again.

Working with our policy centers and fellows, the ACU Foundation engages in deep policy analysis to help create our annual state scorecards. We have enhanced the vote descriptions this year to show this effort more clearly.

By examining all 50 of our State Ratings, we can see which states have most effectively promoted conservative solutions and which have struggled. Our ratings also help identify legislators who have courageously fought against liberal majorities. We hope that this guide helps you learn how well, or poorly, your legislators work to preserve the values we share.

Sincerely,

Matt SchlappChairmanAmerican Conservative Union

SELECTING THE VOTES

ACU researched and selected a range of bills before the Florida Legislature that determine a member’s adherence to conserva-tive principles. We selected bills that focus on Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of the “three-legged stool”: 1) fiscal and economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd amendment, religion, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. This wide range of issues are designed to give citizens an accurate assessment that conveys which of Florida’s elected leaders best defend the principles of a free society: Life, Liberty and Property.

1. SB 344 Stand Your Ground. This bill restores the original intent of the “Stand Your Ground” law and shifts the burden of proof to the prosecution on the issue of self-defense. Court rulings have forced defendants to prove they acted in self-defense. ACU supports the right of an individual to act in self-defense and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on January 28, 2016 by a vote of 24-12.

2. HB 43 Religious Freedom. This bill gives churches the ability to refuse to perform same sex marriages, ceremonies, or receptions. ACU believes in the constitutional right to practice religion and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 3, 2016 by a vote of 23-15.

3. HB 1181 Intellectual Property Rights. This bill amends the current Florida law covering patent “demand letters” to modify provisions that made it difficult for legitimate patent holders to protect their intellectual property rights. The bill also eliminates a provision so that a patent holder no longer has to post a bond when seeking to protect his property. Research based on the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index shows that expanded entrepreneurship promotes economic growth, allowing families to prosper. ACU supports a strong patent system that encourages innovation and inventors and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 4, 2016 by a vote of 38-0.

4. SB 126 Government Transparency. This bill exempts from public record and meeting requirements any unsolicited proposals for public-private partnership projects when the project pertains to public facilities and infrastructure. ACU supports transparency in government, which includes proposals submitted to the government to receive taxpayer funds, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 4, 2016 by vote of 30-4.

5. HB 1411 Taxpayer Funding of Abortion. This bill makes reforms to the current abortion laws and prohibits taxpayer funds from going to organizations that perform abortions, such as Planned Parenthood, unless those organizations only perform abortions in the case of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. ACU Foundation’s Center for Human Dignity engages heavily on these issues and believes abortion is a human tragedy, supports restrictions on the practice and ACU supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 9, 2016 by a vote of 25-15.

6. HB 7029 Omnibus Education Bill. This 160 page bill combines many bills into one, including sweeping changes to Florida’s laws covering regular and charter schools. It strengthens school choice by allowing parents to place their children in any school that has not reached capacity and requires a transfer process so parents can request their child be placed in a different classroom. The bill also reforms the charter school laws to add accountability, while at the same time making capital funding more available. While this bill increases regulations on charter schools, ACU supports this bill as a step in the right direction for school choice. The Senate passed the bill on March 11, 2016 by a vote of 29-10.

7. HB 7099 Tax Cuts. This bill provides for numerous tax reductions, including a permanent tax exemption for manufacturing machinery and equipment, reduces the aviation fuel tax, and creates a three day “back to school sales tax holiday” in August, among other reductions. Although the bill provides much less tax relief than proposed by the Governor, ACU supports tax relief and supported this bill as a step in the right direction. The Senate passed the bill on March 11, 2016 by a vote of 35-4.
