Legislative Platform

Let’s Continue

On behalf of the people with disabilities we serve, we are grateful to Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature helping ensure we continue to provide programs so INDIVIDUALS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO CHOOSE SERVICES.

2026 Legislative Platform

The Arc of Florida urges Florida’s Legislature to consider the following Funding and Policy Priorities which are critical to maintaining quality services, expanding access, and sustaining a strong provider network across the state. We stand ready to work with the Legislature, state agencies, and stakeholders to ensure individuals with I/DD and their families continue to live meaningful and self-directed lives in their communities.

The Arc of Florida launched our Legislative Awareness: #StepUp Program in the 2025 Legislative Session to strengthen the voices of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families in the legislative process. View the entire report
