14 Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
15 On page 162, between lines 23 and 24,
16
17 insert:
18 Section 107. (1) The Legislature recognizes that
19 municipalities, counties, and other governmental entities are
20 empowered to alter or remove signs along roadways for a public
21 purpose and with just compensation, and that such compensation
22 includes amortization or monetary compensation. Further, the
23 Legislature recognizes compensation by amortization may
24 burden, restrict, or limit private property rights. The
25 Legislature therefore determines that there is an important
26 state interest in balancing private property owners' rights
27 and the responsibility of municipalities, counties, and other
28 governmental entities to enhance the safety and aesthetics of
29 their communities.
30 (2) The Sign Valuation Task Force is created and shall
31 be staffed by the Department of Transportation. The task force

1 is charged with developing formulas for providing just
2 compensation through monetary compensation or amortization
3 periods. The task force shall consider whether amortization
4 periods should include a premium in recognition of a potential
5 burden upon private property owners' rights due to the private
6 property owners being compelled by amortization to earn their
7 own compensation.
8 (a) The task force shall be composed of five members.
9 The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of
10 Representatives shall each appoint two members. The remaining
11 member shall be appointed by the Secretary of Transportation
12 and shall be an appraiser who is a member of the Appraisal
13 Institute. The task force members shall select a chair of the
14 task force. All appointments must be made by July 15, 2001.
15 Three members of the task force shall constitute a quorum, and
16 the vote of three members shall be necessary for any action
17 taken by the task force. The task force may meet upon the
18 constitution of a quorum.
19 (b) Upon the appointment of the members, the task
20 force shall schedule an organizational meeting to be held no
21 later than August 1, 2001. Thereafter, the task force shall
22 meet at least three times, preferably at various locations
23 throughout the state. The task force may meet by
24 teleconference.
25 (c) Members of the task force from the private sector
26 are not entitled to per diem or reimbursement for travel
27 expenses; however, members of the task force from the public
28 sector are entitled to reimbursement, if any, from their
29 respective agencies. Members of the task force may request
30 staff assistance from the Department of Transportation as
31 necessary.

6 methods, methods of providing compensation, and other related
7 issues.
8 (e) The task force may conduct meetings, hearings, and
9 workshops in Tallahassee and at other locations around the
10 state, and may take evidence, testimony and debate at the
11 meetings, hearings, and workshops. The task force must keep
12 electronic recordings of the meetings, hearings, and
13 workshops. Such recordings shall be preserved under chapters
14 119 and 257, Florida Statutes.
15 (f) The task force shall submit its findings and
16 recommendations in the form of a written report to the
17 President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of
18 Representatives, and the Governor by December 15, 2001. Upon
