FL H1133

Exempts out-of-state businesses from Florida registration, licensing, and tax filing requirements when performing emergency-related work during a declared state of emergency or under mutual aid agreements.

Defines "disaster-response period" as beginning 10 calendar days before a state of emergency declaration and ending 60 calendar days after it ends, or when out-of-state work under mutual aid agreement is concluded (maximum 7 days).

Waives reemployment assistance taxes, professional licensing fees, local business taxes, corporate income tax, and tangible personal property taxes on equipment brought into the state solely for emergency-related work.

Out-of-state employees performing only emergency-related work are exempt from state and local occupational licensing requirements and related fees during the disaster-response period.

Exemptions terminate after the disaster-response period ends; out-of-state businesses and employees remaining in Florida thereafter must comply with normal state business and residency standards.
