LEGISLATIVE POLICY COMMITTEES

Florida League of Cities


Each year, municipal officials from across the state volunteer to serve on the League’s five Legislative policy committees.


The Florida League of Cities’ Legislative Policy Committees set the legislative platform for the League and Florida’s 411 municipalities.

New for 2024-2025: Changes have been made to most of the policy committee names and some issues have shifted among the committees. Before signing up for a committee, carefully review each of the committee descriptions found in the 2024-2025 FLC Legislative Policy Committee Process and Frequently Asked Questions document.  

Sign up is now open to serve on a 2024-2025 legislative policy committee.

The Committees include:

  • Finance and Taxation
  • Development, Code Compliance and Redevelopment
  • Intergovernmental Relations, Mobility and Emergency Management
  • Municipal Operations
  • Utilities, Natural Resources and Public Works.

If you want to serve on a policy committee, contact medenfield@flcities.com.

Appointments are typically a one-year commitment and involve developing the League’s legislative platform detailing priority issues that are most likely to affect daily municipal governance and local decision making during the upcoming legislative session. Policy committee members also help League staff understand the real-world implications of proposed legislation and are asked to serve as advocates throughout the legislative process. For more information, view the 2024-2025 FLC Legislative Policy Committee Process and Frequently Asked Questions document.  

The 2023-2024 chairs, staff contacts and rosters for each policy committee can be found below. Our gratitude to the officials who are serving as chair and vice-chair of these committees. Their leadership is essential as we prepare for another Legislative session.

In addition to the policy committees, League members also serve on the following standing committees: the Legislative Committee, the Advocacy Committee and the Resolutions Committee. Learn More
