Florida House members are banned from snapping cell phone pics while they’re in the chamber under a decorum edict from House Speaker Larry Cretul.

Lawmakers were reminded this morning that they can get pictures from the staff of taxpayer-funded photographers who document each days work.

Rules Chairman Bill Galvano, who highlighted some of the finer points in the memo for lawmakers today, reminded his colleagues to wear “proper attire” and “not the latest thing out of L.A.”

They were reminded not to use cell phones in the chamber, not to vote for other members in a quorum call, to get floor props approved first and to use state laptops for state business.

“That’s about it by way of highlight on the memorandum,” Galvano said.
