Issue Position: Standing up For Our Veterans

Issue Position

As the daughter of a veteran of World War II and the Korean conflict, Kathleen knows that we have a responsibility to our men and women in uniform that have served our great nation. Kathleen has consistently fought and voted for legislation to make Florida the most Military and veteran-friendly state in the nation. During her time in the office, the Legislature has made Florida colleges more affordable for members of our Armed Forces with military tuition assistance and by empowering colleges to implement a military fee waiver for those students. The Legislature has also created a local business tax exemption for military members, veterans, and their spouses and eliminated fees veterans pay for a driver's license. In 2018, Kathleen sponsored Senate Bill 1598 which created the "Uniform Deployed Parents Custody and Visitation Act" in Florida law which sets clear definitions and requirements for resolving child custody conflicts when a parent is a service member that is facing deployment.
