by Community and Military Affairs Subcommittee and Rep. Workman (SB 174 by Senators Bennett and Gaetz)
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Community Affairs Committee (CA)
In response to ongoing litigation, this bill (Chapter 2011-14, L.O.F.) reenacts sections of law amended by the parts of ch. 2009-96, Laws of Florida, (SB 360 from 2009) most closely related to the subject of growth management to eliminate any possible question that any of these provisions could be subjected to a single subject challenge. Additionally, since the bill passed by a 2/3 majority of each house, it could remove the argument that these provisions violate the mandates provision of the Florida Constitution. The bill does not change the law but reaffirms the changes to the law made in 2009 related to growth management.
These provisions became law upon approval by the Governor on April 27, 2011.
Vote: Senate 30-7; House 80-39
