We’re proud to announce that GLM Legal’s timely insights were recently featured in the South Florida Business Journal article titled, “South Florida tourism leaders push back on hotel tax revenue bill.”

The article examines Florida’s proposed HB 1221 legislation, highlighting key local perspectives, including commentary from GLM Legal. Recognized as counsel for the cities of Miami Lakes and Doral, our firm’s input offered essential context on several critical points:

• The bill’s reflection of a broader shift toward economic diversification, signaling Florida cities’ movement beyond reliance solely on tourism.

• Clarification that the bill doesn’t prohibit tourism promotion; rather, it introduces public accountability through periodic voter reapproval.

• The alignment of HB 1221 with Florida’s strategic vision of growing robust sectors such as aerospace, finance, and life sciences.

• Positioning the legislation within the framework of free-market principles.
