2 The Legislative Process: Protocol and Advocacy The Honorable Karen E. Rushing, Sarasota County Clerk of Court, and FCCC Legislative Committee Chair Fred W. Baggett, Esq., General Counsel Gus Corbella, Greenberg Traurig THE ROLE OF CLERKS AND YOUR LOBBY TEAM IN TALLAHASSEE
3 Role of the Clerk in the Legislative Process Importance of relationship with your local delegation *Notify the FCCC team of any special relationships you may have with legislators or key decision makers Sharing of information/coordination with FCCC Legislative Committee and Committee Chair Karen Rushing Participation during scheduled WebEx conference calls Participation during Clerks Legislative Day at the Capitol
4 Role of Your Legislative Lobby Team Monitor and advocate for legislative priorities with Legislators and key staff Work closely with FCCC and Clerk Rushing during Session Update Clerks during scheduled WebEx conference calls Respond to individual concerns and local priorities
5 Legislative Process Aggressively advocate on behalf of Clerk-related issues before Legislative and Executive branches of government Read bills and mark for a Master Clerk List Track committee meetings Attend or monitor pertinent meetings Survey Clerks on issues as they arise Prepare materials for the Legislative Chair Provide fiscal and operational impacts on bills Answer calls from Legislative staffers, agency legislative liaisons or other lobbyists on impact of bills Help organize and staff scheduled Legislative WebEx conference calls Write advisories on bills Write and publish an end of Session wrap up report

7 Coordination with Stakeholders Legislative team works closely during Session with: Clerks of Court Operations Corporation (CCOC) The Courts Public Defenders State Attorneys Law Enforcement Other relevant state agencies
8 Some Words of Wisdom Actions have consequences. Please coordinate with your mentor before speaking with any elected officials. There is a history of problems that resulted from a lack of coordination: Two major counties well intentioned and justified issues, but it blindsided the Legislative team and caused concerns Don t oversaturate elected officials with your support. Chits are limited. Spend them wisely. Know your message and state it clearly and simply. Legislative talking points will help keep all Clerks on message. Important to coordinate all Legislative issues through your Legislative lobby team.
