Saw this posted on the Florists for Change Facebook page and thought it deserved more exposure:
Fellow Florists For Change Members:
We want to proudly announce that our deceptive advertising bill SB404, found Here http://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/77th2013/Bills/SB/SB404_EN.pdf, has passed through the Nevada legislature and has been signed by our Governor, Brian Sandoval. The legislation for deceptive advertising in the floral industry was an amendment to a fair trade practice bill that was previously introduced into the state legislature and can be found in section 9 of the bill. A special thanks goes out to State Senator Debbie Smith, Katie Knapp of Bumblebee Blooms, John DiBella of DiBella Flowers and Gifts, and Bruce Gescheider of The Florist at Moana for their support of this bill. I encourage everyone to use our language in SB404 as a template to take to your state legislator and see if this can be adopted in your state. Together we can eradicate these deceptive practices from our industry. To find more information visit us in Las Vegas at the annual Florists For Change Meeting.http://www.floristsforchange.com/vegas2013/
