IT subcommittee recesses meeting to visit Florida Bridal Service and cybersecurity operations center

At a meeting in Tallahassee, the Information Technology Budget and Policy Subcommittee recessed its session to take a field trip to the Florida Bridal Service and the state's cybersecurity operations center, the presiding member announced.

The presiding member, who is not named in the provided transcript, told members they would depart the building and meet outside the House office building where two vans were waiting. "We will be here for just a second, because today we're going on a field trip," the presiding member said. Members of the public were told they would meet the committee at the destination. The presiding member asked that attendees bring either a badge or a photo ID and invited members to direct staff questions to them before departure.

The meeting began with a formal roll call. Several members answered "Here" when called; one member, Jim Lombardo, was recorded as excused. After roll call the presiding member confirmed a quorum. No motions, votes, or formal agenda actions are recorded in the provided portion of the transcript. The session was paused to allow the committee to travel to the scheduled site visits.

The field trip was described as an opportunity to learn "a little bit more about the operations" of the Florida Bridal Service and to view the cybersecurity operations center and the services those offices provide to the state. The transcript does not include additional detail about the planned agenda at the sites, any staff presentations, or follow-up actions the committee might take after the visits.

The meeting was set to reconvene after the site visits; the transcript ends as the presiding member asked if there were any further remarks.
