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. In 2023 alone, over 56,000 independent businesses in Florida sold more than 358 million items through Amazon, showcasing their vital role in the state's economic landscape.

The resolution also notes that independent sellers from across Florida will be visiting Tallahassee on this day to engage with legislators about their businesses. To commemorate this occasion, the Florida Senate will present a copy of the resolution, along with the Senate Seal, to key organizations such as the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries of Florida, and the Florida Retail Federation, symbolizing the Senate's recognition of the contributions made by independent online sellers to the state's growth and prosperity.
