On this site you will find information on Florida's efforts to pass legislation that will restore the rights of high school seniors to submit a professional photograph taken by the photographer of their choice to appear in their high school yearbook.
If you are a professional photographer, a high school student, or a concerned parent with children of any age, you can join the fight by lobbying your state representatives to pass this important legislation. You can identify your local State Representative and State Senator by clicking here and entering your zip + 4 code. If you don't know the "+4" part, there is a separate link to provide you with that information on the same page.
If you are a State Legislator, you can access information on similar bills that have recently passed and been signed into law in other states. Also on this web site you can find information on the near unanimous support for this change among your constituents.
Let's restore the Freedom of Choice for our young people and bring Florida's senior portraiture in yearbooks into the new millennium. |
