Dear Friends,

Although Florida is still facing economic challenges, we have recently been seeing some early indicators that industries may be growing back. Several of our licensed and regulated professions, including real estate and construction, are starting to report some signs of growth, which is very exciting! I am hopeful that other businesses and professions will show similar growth and development as time goes on.

Here at DBPR, one of our goals is to ensure our rules and processes are not cumbersome for Florida’s businesses and professionals so that as our state’s economy begins to grow again, qualified individuals may get to work. We have been committed to streamlining our processes, including license applications, with a simple common sense approach. We are dedicated to doing everything we can to ensure our processes make sense and we get qualified Floridians to work. Thank you for allowing us to continue serving you!

Sincerely,

Ken Lawson
