C7 A A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE CITY’S 2026 STATE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA AS SET FORTH IN THE ATTACHED EXHIBIT “A” TO THIS RESOLUTION. Applicable Area:

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

RECOMMENDATION

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and Commission adopt the Resolution.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

The Mayor and City Commission annually approve a State Legislative Priorities document to guide the City's representatives in Tallahassee. Throughout the year, however, the Mayor and Commissioners may introduce new priorities and Resolutions for Commission approval. Once approved, these updates are incorporated into the legislative package and shared with the state team.

ANALYSIS

The attached package outlines the City of Miami Beach’s legislative program for the 2026 session. While the listed priorities serve as a guide for the City’s advocacy efforts in Tallahassee, they are not exhaustive. The Mayor and City Commission may identify and respond to emerging issues or developments throughout the year that require legislative action.

Additionally, collaboration with the Miami-Dade Delegation, particularly the elected officials representing Miami Beach, is essential. The City administration will work closely with our lobbyists to coordinate briefings and organize visits to Tallahassee to advocate for policy changes, secure funding for key projects, and engage with state agencies on critical matters.
