13         Senate Amendment (with title amendment) 

14         On page 17, between lines 16 and 17,

15

16  and insert:

17         Section 6.  The Legislature recognizes the uniqueness

18  of Miami-Dade County and its particular need to be a

19  self-governing, independent, and sovereign entity unto itself.

20  The Legislature acknowledges that as a charter county,

21  Miami-Dade County presently exercises many sovereign powers

22  delegated to it by the Legislature. The Legislature recognizes

23  that Miami-Dade County presently conducts its affairs as

24  though it were an independent and sovereign state. Therefore,

25  the Legislature declares it to be an important state interest

26  to enable Miami-Dade to meet the needs of its citizens in the

27  most effective manner and hereby creates Miami Dade County as

28  a separate state with any and all rights that such a duly

29  created sovereign state may exercise.
