Florida Senator Frank Artiles Files Legislation to Update Regulations Medical Cannabis

Posted on March 2, 2017

Florida Senator Frank Artiles (R-Miami) today filed Senate Bill 1388, to update regulations in regards to the use of medical cannabis. This bill will require independent third party testing for medicinal cannabis treatment centers. The purpose is to protect patients diagnosed with debilitating medical conditions.

“Medicinal Cannabis should be tested just like any other medicine. This bill will protect those that have a debilitating medical condition and will be ingesting these products. Safety is our primary concern.” said Senator Artiles

The third party testing will provide a uniform regulation for medical cannabis, treating it like any other prescription drug. Medical marijuana treatment centers will have to meet department standards to certify the safety and potency of the medical cannabis they provide. Protecting the consumer is the primary purpose of this legislation.

Senator Frank Artiles Files Legislation to Collapse Expressway Authorities in Florida

Posted on January 13, 2017

Florida Senator Frank Artiles (R-Miami) today announced the filing of Senate Bill 308, relating to Expressway Authorities, for the 2017 Legislative Session, in an effort to collapse expressway authorities into the Florida Department of Transportation.
“Senate Bill 308 removes another layer of government by eliminating the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX), saves money and keeps 95 percent of toll revenues in the county that generates it,” said Senator Artiles. “The exorbitant tolls charged by the MDX are simply too high for the working class to afford; and, collapsing the MDX will cut down on bureaucratic government, saving money for all Floridians who travel on the expressway.”
SB 308 would collapse all expressway authorities in the State of Florida, including the MDX, would end the culture of excessive tolls and ensure the safety of Florida roads.
