DID YOU KNOW?

NEW LAWS EFFECTIVE IN FLORIDA

By Tracey Parker

The Florida legislature enacted (32) new laws effective October 1, 2014, creating and updating statutes pertaining to sexual offenders, one tourism based industry, medical facilities and others. Many of these changes could be in reaction to various high profile true stories that happened recently throughout the state. Here is some information about a few of these new laws: Parasail accidents in Pompano Beach (2007) and more famously in Panama City Beach (2013), involving one fatality and a horrifying video of two teenagers slamming into a high rise condominium (respectively), were the ammunition needed after years of legislators’ efforts to pass what is now known as the “White-Miskell Act.” Previously unregulated parasail businesses now have restrictions regarding: specific weather conditions they cannot operate during; operators (captains) must be licensed by the Coast Guard; and businesses are now required to carry $1,000,000.00 liability insurance.

HB 485 reclassifies sex offenses against students by authority figures, and increases penalties for teachers and school authorities who take advantage of their students.

Such sex offenses are reclassified “up” one degree if said conditions apply. Crimes against homeless persons are similarly reclassified as if against someone within a protected class such as race, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. Re-classifications essentially bump the crime “up” a degree (a first degree misdemeanor would bump up to a third degree felony, etc.) which means harsher sentences. Further, these changes mean longer sentences for adult on

minor sex offenses, and stronger offenders’ reporting rules and sex offender registration requirements.

There have been a rash of illegal bathroom cameras in the news this year. One man was recently sentenced in Okaloosa County for charges including video voyeurism at a business where he was a contract employee. A Clay County man was recently sentenced for establishing cameras in his home bathroom and producing child pornography. Both men received 15 years sentences. As of October 1st, voyeurism in Florida now includes “secretly observing another person’s intimate areas in which the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, when the other person is located in a public or private dwelling, structure, or conveyance.”

Awareness and recognition of “cyber bullying” has been prominent in the cultural dialogue of late.

Addressing cyber threats, Florida legislators added “electronic communication,” which includes communication via social media, to the statute prohibiting the sending of letters threatening to kill or injure someone. This law covers both signed and anonymous threats and any type of threat to cause bodily harm.

Other laws include HB 59, which establishes “a crime against unborn children” regarding people who attack pregnant women, regardless of the length of the term of pregnancy, and can be construed to include harming an unborn child in a car accident. It has been reported by news media that this law is in reaction to a Tampa man who deceived his girlfriend into taking a miscarriage inducing pill without her knowledge.

Supreme Court Takes Up Battle Over Attorneys’ Fees

By Jim Saunders, The News Service of Florida

In an issue watched closely by business, labor and trial-lawyer groups, the Florida Supreme Court on November 5 weighed the constitutionality of limits on attorneys’ fees in workers-compensation insurance cases.

Justices heard arguments in a case that stemmed from injuries suffered in 2009 by a South Florida man, Marvin Castellanos, during an altercation with another worker at their employer, Next Door Company. After a dispute about a workers-compensation claim, a judge approved $822.70 in benefits for Castellanos --- and a $164.54 fee for his attorney.

The fee was based on a formula in state law. But Castellanos’ attorneys contend that a change made in 2009 to the law can lead to such small fee amounts that it is unconstitutional. In part, they argue that injured workers’ “access to courts” is hampered because lawyers might not take cases without the possibility of more pay.

Richard Sicking, an attorney for Castellanos, told the Supreme Court that state lawmakers set fee amounts that have “no basis in fact” --- and described as “crazy” the fee in the case, which was the equivalent of $1.53 an hour for the work that was done.

“The Legislature has set the fee,’’ Sicking said. “That is not a legislative function.”

Justices asked pointed questions of Sicking and Raoul Cantero, who

represents the Next Door Company and its insurer, Amerisure Insurance Co. After Sicking’s comment about the fee being crazy, Justice Barbara Pariente quickly replied, “Crazy doesn’t always translate into unconstitutionality.”

Cantero, a former Supreme Court justice, said Castellanos’ attorneys had not shown that the fee limits affect the ability of injured workers to get legal representation.

As an example, he alluded to the lawyer who agreed to take Castellanos’ case.

“There’s no claim here, ‘I couldn’t get an attorney because this was a low-value (benefits) claim,’ ‘’ Cantero said.

But Justice James E.C. Perry appeared to disagree about the effect of low fees, asking Cantero at one point, “Would you represent a claimant under these circumstances?”

Attorneys’ fees have long been a controversial issue as state lawmakers, urged by business groups, have looked for ways to hold down workers-compensation insurance costs.

Generally, the workers-compensation system is designed to resolve claims quickly so injured employees can return to work, but some disputes wind up going to court.

Business groups contend that large attorneys’ fees would contribute to higher insurance costs.

But plaintiffs’ attorneys and labor groups counter that lawyers are of-

ten necessary to help injured workers navigate the complicated workers-compensation system.

As a sign of the interest in the Supreme Court case, prominent groups have filed briefs on both sides. Among the groups supporting Castellanos’ arguments have been the Florida Justice Association triallawyers group, the Fraternal Order of Police, the Police Benevolent Association and the Florida Professional Firefighters. On the other side are groups such as the Florida Justice Reform Institute, the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries of Florida and the Florida Insurance Council.

Lawmakers in 2003 passed a massive overhaul of the workerscompensation system, amid arguments that Florida businesses paid some of the highest insurance rates in the country.

State law includes a formula

for judges to award attorneys’ fees.

For example, the fees are set at 20 percent of the first $5,000 in benefits obtained and 15 percent of the next $5,000 in benefits. But the Castellanos case focuses heavily on a change that lawmakers approved in 2009 to eliminate a reference to

being able to recover “reasonable” attorneys’ fees.

Sicking argued that has led to a fee system that is “compulsory and conclusive” and leads to unreasonable limits. The Supreme Court typically takes months to rule in such cases.

Medical Marijuana Proposal Falls Short

By Jim Saunders, The News Service of Florida

Little more than three months ago, Floridians appeared poised to overwhelmingly pass a constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana.

But on November 4, after a barrage of negative ads by opponents, the idea came crashing down.

As of 11 p.m., 57.5 percent of voters backed the proposed amendment --- known as Amendment 2 --that would have allowed patients to receive the substance. But constitutional amendments require approval from 60 percent of voters to pass.

“This amendment, had it been ingrained in the constitution, would have been very bad for Florida,” said Sarah Bascom, a spokeswoman

for “Vote No on 2,” a group that fought legalization. “There are no do-overs in the constitution, so the only way to rectify this amendment and to fix this issue was to vote no.”

The pot proposal was one of three constitutional amendments on the ballot Tuesday. Voters easily passed an amendment that will lead to increased funding for land conservation and other environmental projects. They rejected a third amendment that involved the appointment of Supreme Court justices and appeals-court judges.

The medical-marijuana initiative was spearheaded by Orlando attorney John Morgan, who is known throughout the state for his ubiqui-

tous Morgan and Morgan law-firm television ads and billboards.

In July, a Quinnipiac University poll indicated that 88 percent of Floridians --- across all age groups --approved of medical marijuana. But support for the proposed amendment later dropped as it was hit with millions of dollars in television ads and opposition from sheriffs, Republican leaders and business groups.

Opponents said the amendment included loopholes that would lead to a wide-open pot industry that would go far beyond helping patients who suffer from debilitating illnesses. The anti-Amendment 2 effort got crucial help from Las Vegas casino magnate Sheldon Adelson,

who contributed $5.5 million to the Drug Free Florida political committee, which ran ads blasting the proposal.

“Too broad. Too many risks.

Vote no on Amendment 2,” said an ad released last week.

But United for Care, a group that led the amendment campaign, said the attacks were aimed at scaring voters and were untrue.

“Amendment 2 will pass this November because Floridians are far more intelligent than the ‘No on 2’ campaign believes,” Ben Pollara, campaign manager for United for Care, said last week. “Voters will choose compassion over fearmongering.”

While the medical-marijuana initiative was highly controversial, the land-conservation amendment drew grumbling from Republican legislative leaders and some business groups but appeared to have no organized opposition. It received about 75 percent of the vote Tuesday.

The proposal, which was Amendment 1 on the ballot, will require the state to dedicate a portion of real-estate tax revenue over the next 20 years for environmental preservation. The proposal will generate billions of dollars from the already-existing tax, with the money going to buy or restore areas crucial to Florida’s water supply, such as the land around springs, and natural systems that have been despoiled, such as the Everglades.

“Clearly the people of Florida care about their environment,’’ said Allison DeFoor, who chaired the effort to pass the amendment. “We believed that when we started this effort, and we bet everything we had on it. It appears our hope was warranted.”

Supporters argued the measure is necessary because lawmakers in recent years dramatically reduced funding for the Florida Forever conservation program. Republican legislative leaders, however, argued against the amendment because it would force lawmakers to set aside a pot of money every year for conservation and give them less flexibility in how to spend tax dollars.

The third amendment on the ballot was placed there by Republican lawmakers and involved a complicated question about the appointment of future Supreme Court justices and appeals-court judges.

It received only about 48 percent support.

The proposal was spurred by the possibility that three Supreme Court justices --- Barbara Pariente, R. Fred Lewis and Peggy Quince --- will have to step down in early 2019 because of a mandatory retirement age. They could leave the court at the same time a new governor takes office, depending on the outcome of the 2018 gubernatorial election.

The amendment would allow an outgoing governor --- rather than the incoming governor --- to appoint the replacements. Supporters said the proposal was needed to avoid a potential constitutional crisis that could emerge if there is a dispute about who holds the appointment power.

But Democrats and other critics argued that the proposal was a power grab by Republican supporters of Gov. Rick Scott, who, if reelected Tuesday, would leave office in early 2019. In such a scenario, Scott --- and not his successor --would be able to fill the Supreme Court openings.

“But What Will I Blog About?”

Five Evergreen Posts That Pull Readers In (and Turn Them into Clients) As every business blogger knows, coming up with fresh content can be a challenge. Here, Mark Satterfield shares a few blog post ideas that you can adapt when you’re running low on inspiration.

As any experienced business blogger will tell you, one of the toughest parts of the job is thinking of a steady stream of interesting topics. Whether you’re on your fifth or 55th post, it’s equally important to offer value (and to some degree, entertainment) to your readers.

“Whenever you can write about current events or trends, do so—connecting to what’s going on in the world will help you establish your business’s relevancy and credentials,” says Mark Satterfield, author of the new book The One Week Marketing Plan: The Set It & Forget It Approach for Quickly Growing Your Business. “But for those times when you’re fresh out of newsy ideas yet you still need to publish something that piques readers’ interest, you need a good list of evergreen topics.”

In The One Week Marketing Plan, Satterfield explains exactly how to deploy your energy and finances in order to bring highquality prospects to your doorstep—including a thorough look at how to create an engaging business blog from the ground up. He lays out a step-by-step, “set it and forget it” system entrepreneurs and small business owners can put in place in just five business days.

(That’s right—five!)

Here, Satterfield shares five blog post ideas that will help you to attract new clients (and strengthen your relationship with existing ones!) by establishing yourself as a thought leader in your field. More great blog post ideas can be found in The One Week Marketing Plan. (The blog post titles he suggests here are purposefully generic; feel free to adapt them and jazz them up wherever possible!)

X Things You Should Be Doing Now. This post showcases three to five items everyone should be doing on a regular basis, whether they’re a client or not. Ideally, you want this to be something that isn’t commonly known. If you’re a dentist, you can write, “You already know to brush and floss twice a day, but

here are some things that you might not know.” Then tell readers something like, “Instead of using toothpaste, you’re much better off brushing with a mixture that’s half hydrogen peroxide and half mouthwash.”

“Let readers know what benefits this strategy will give them and briefly mention the fuller benefits they would get if they came to see you,” Satterfield instructs.

My Mistake! Where I Went Wrong and What I Learned.

Let your readers know how you got through it and how it’s influenced you today. Demonstrating that you have personally experienced the pain your prospective clients are facing shows that your knowledge is more than theoretical. “My wife has said to me, ‘It would be great if you got it right the first time, just once,’ but the fact that I’m willing to share mistakes makes my recommended solution all the more credible,” Satterfield asserts.

Making a List (and Checking It Twice). Can you put together a convenient list that people in your niche will find relevant or useful?

It could be books and articles to read, things to do, or things to avoid. And don’t forget social media. Maybe you could make a list of groups on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+ that your audience should be members of. Or perhaps you can make a list of people they should follow. “A client of mine put together a list of Twitter handles for literary agents, which was retweeted heavily,” shares Satterfield.

How I Became a [Insert Whatever You Do]. This is a great way to showcase your credentials and experience. You’ll get SEO benefit when people search for the job title that the post references, and there is usually a high degree of curiosity about these types of articles. Plus, you’re the ultimate expert on the path you took to get where you are today. “Just make

sure your post doesn’t read like a résumé in sentence form—be sure to infuse your story with interesting personal details, like the mentor who changed your focus in school or obstacles you had to overcome,” Satterfield recommends.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Most of us who have some type of expertise get asked certain questions about ourselves, our jobs, our products, and/or our companies repeatedly. It’s old hat to us, but for those who don’t have our level of expertise, having answers to FAQ in one place is very helpful. “Think about the typical questions you get asked a lot once people find out what you do, or the questions someone asks you when they’re sitting next to you on a plane,” Satterfield suggests.

“This list should give you the jump-start you need on days when you don’t know what to blog about,” Satterfield concludes.

“Anytime you think of a good ev-

ergreen topic, add it to this list so that your blog never hits the doldrums—and so that your clients and prospects stay connected.”
