Commission MEETINGS

The Florida Commission on Human Relations (Commission) is comprised of 12 members appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the Senate.  The Commission has the power to adopt, promulgate, amend, and rescind rules to effectuate the purposes and policies of the agency, and govern the proceedings of the Commission.  To do this, the Commissioners meet quarterly to hear staff reports, consider rule proposals, and conduct other agency business. 

Business meetings of the Commission are subject to Florida Sunshine Laws and are open to the public.  Please make note of the following: 

  • Members of the public shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard on matters coming before the board. If you want to request to speak on an agenda item at a virtual meeting, sign up by submitting a Personal Appearance Form to the Clerk of the Commission by email at clerk@fchr.myflorida.com by 5:00 p.m. the day before the meeting.  If you want to request to appear in-person and speak on an agenda item to be heard at an in-person meeting, you must submit a completed Public Appearance Form to the Clerk of the Commission at least 5 minutes prior to the start of the in-person meeting. The Chairperson has discretion to determine who will speak and the order of the speakers. The Chairperson will introduce the speakers by name near the beginning of the meeting. Please be ready to speak when called.

  • Please review the Commission’s Public Comment and Conduct of Meetings Policy and Procedures. The Commission shall maintain orderly conduct and proper decorum throughout the meeting.  Conduct or speech that creates a disruption may lead the Chair to ask the disruptor(s) to leave the meeting.  Personal attacks or threats of any kind will not be tolerated. 

  • A time limit of two minutes has been established for individual speakers. 

  • The minutes of a meeting are a synopsis of what was done at a meeting, not a transcription of a meeting.  The adoption of the minutes, including any corrections, shall be voted on at the next Commission meeting.
