Senate Resolution by Senator Rodriguez designates April 2, 2025, as Independent Online Sellers Day in Florida. This resolution acknowledges the significant impact of digital commerce on Florida's economy, highlighting that a substantial portion of sales on platforms like Amazon comes from independent sellers, many of whom are small and medium-sized businesses. With over 56,000 independent businesses in Florida contributing to this sector, these sellers collectively sold more than 358 million items in 2023.

The resolution also notes that independent sellers from across Florida will be visiting Tallahassee on this day to engage with legislators about their businesses. In recognition of their contributions to the state's economic growth and prosperity, the resolution calls for a copy to be presented to key organizations such as the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries of Florida, and the Florida Retail Federation, symbolizing the Florida Senate's appreciation for these independent online sellers.
