HILL DAY January 14th, 2025 Recap: The Florida Occupational Therapy Association held its annual Hill Day in Tallahassee on Tuesday, January 14th, in advance of the 2025 Legislative Session. Occupational therapists and students from throughout the state attended to advocate for the profession and advance FOTA’s legislative priorities. For the 2025 Session, FOTA is focused on pursuing legislation to join the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact, sponsored by Representative Adam Anderson (Pinellas) and Senator Alexis Calatayud (Miami). FOTA met with numerous legislators who serve on the House Health Professions & Programs Subcommittee and Senate Health Policy Committee, in anticipation of the bills being referred to their committees. We also met with the Governor’s Office of Policy and Budget, to discuss the Occupational Therapy Licensure Compact and ongoing challenges with Medicaid reimbursement. The 60-day Legislative Session will officially begin on Tuesday, March 4th and is slated to end Friday, May 2nd, pending the Legislature’s passage of the constitutionally required FY2025-26 budget.
