In the upcoming legislative session, Sen. Danny Burgess (R-Tampa) will be the chair of a new committee focused on pandemic preparedness and response. He spoke with WFSU about his expectations for the committee.

Questions:

What are some of the bills that you expect to see, some of the issues you expect to address as Chairman of this committee?

While you were going through the catalog of subjects you all are going to
cover, eviction is one of them right?

Are there any proposals that you've heard so far or seen so far? I know no bill shave been assigned to committees yet, but what are the type of bills that you expect to see?

When it comes to liability coverage for businesses how would that work?
